Samak-Vrat ke Chawal

Today is the first day of Navratri so first of all Happy Navratri and wish you all the happiness with the beginning of Festive season. In this post, I am adding another Falahar recipe named as Vrat ke Chawal made from small white rice like grains known as Samak. Samak grain is shown in the above pic if someone is unaware of it. Below mentioned ratio is for 2 people.

Ingredients: Samak  1 cup, water 2 cups, 1 tomato diced, 3-4 chopped green chilli, 2 potato boiled and cubed, 1 tbsp oil, sendha salt per taste, black pepper per taste, cumin powder 1tsp ,curry leaves 4-5.

Method: Wash the samak grains and keep aside. In a pan heat oil and splutter the curry leaves and green chilli. Add cumin powder and tomato. When the tomato are little tender, add the samak and water. Also add desired amount of black pepper and sendha salt. When the water starts boiling, lower the flame and let it simmer on low flame for 5-8 minutes. In the last when little water is left, add the boiled potato and let it simmer till all the water is dried up. Serve the samak rice with plain curd, raita, green chutney or tomato chutney.
