Namkeen Chawal

To make salty rice, cut potatoes, onions and tomatoes. Now put oil in a cooker. Let it heat. Add cumin and bay leaves. Then add onion and chilli.

After 1 minute, add potatoes, after 20 seconds add tomatoes and mix, then add peanuts and mix. After 1 minute, add all the spices like turmeric powder, chili powder, coriander powder, salt and then mix.

Cook for 2 minutes, then add rice and mix. Now add water. Water should be 1/2 inch above the rice. Lastly add 1 teaspoon lemon juice and mix.

I have added 2 glasses of water to 2 cups of rice. Now I have to close the cooker and cook for 1 whistle on medium flame. Now the salty rice is ready.

Now serve it to eat. It tastes very tasty. You can eat it hot by adding ghee or even with curd, it increases the taste of the food.
