Healthy Urad dal rice / Ulutham parupu satham

Ingredients (serves for 2)

rice - 1 1/4 cup (1 cup size = 150 ml)

black urad dal (splitted , with skin) - 1/2 cup (you can also use skinless white urad dal but black urad dal with skin tastes better)

garlic - 15 - 20 pods

grated coconut - 4 tsp

salt - as needed

water - 4 cups

Method:

• dry roast black urad dal till nice aroma comes
   
• wash it along with the rice 
  
• add water in a pressure cooker and add the washed rice , black urad dal
  
• add garlic, salt and grated coconut
  
• mix it well and pressure cook for 1 whistle and then reduce the flame to medium
• cook it for 5 - 8 mins and then switch off the flame
  
• As we didn't add any spice, best side dish for this rice would be ellu thogayal and kathrikai puli kari
