Instructions
 

  • Cook the basmati rice before hand. Each grains of rice are separate after cooking. So the rice should be 70 to 80% cooked.
  • Now wash the coriander leaves properly. Take them in grinder along with ginger, garlic, green chilli and make a fine paste.
  • Heat a kadai and pour ghee. Roast the cashew nuts and keep them aside.
  • Add oil in that remaining ghee. Once the oil is hot add bay leaf followed by chopped onions and fry till they are translucent.
  • Next add the ground paste and cook until the raw smell is gone.
  • Finally add cooked rice and roasted cashew nuts and mix it well. Serve hot with curd or raita or pickle.

Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For extra crunch and flavor, lightly toast the cashews in ghee before adding them to the rice; this enhances both texture and aroma.
  • If you prefer a milder spice, deseed the green chillies or substitute with a small amount of green bell pepper for a gentle heat.
  • To keep the rice vibrant green, blend the coriander, green chillies, ginger, and garlic with a splash of lemon juice before mixing with the rice—this preserves the color and adds a hint of tanginess.
  • Coriander Rice pairs beautifully with a side of cooling yogurt raita or a simple cucumber salad, which balances the spice and adds a refreshing contrast.
