Black Pepper Rice Recipe

Black Pepper plays a vital role in salads, soups and in all Indian cooking. How it taste when we make a rice in that? Well, I made it and it was amazing. So I am sharing this recipe now with step by step procedure with pictures.

You can make this recipe with leftover rice also. I usually make this for lunch along with some mild gravy.

Ingredients for Pepper Rice:  Cooked Rice – 1 cup Black Pepper – 2 to 3 tbsp Ghee – 2 tbsp Oil – 1 tbsp Mustard seeds – ¼ tsp Split urad dal – 1 tsp Channa dal – 1 tsp Cashew nuts few Roasted peanuts – 2 tbsp Curry leaves few Grated coconut – 3 tbsp Salt to taste

Method:

• Cook the rice and allow it to cool by sprinkling some oil. This will make the rice nonsticky.
• Roast peppers until nice aroma hits you and grind it in a powder in a mixer.
• Add 1 tbsp of oil and 2 tbsp ghee in a pan and add mustard seeds, split urad dal, channa dal and allow it to slightly brown then add roasted peanut.
  
• Add cashew nuts and allow to slightly brown, curry leaves, grated coconuts and switch off the flame.
  
• Add powdered pepper, tempered items, salt to the rice and mix well.
  

Serve with gravy of your choice or serve plain.

Note:

• I usually add 3 cups water for 1 cup rice but for this rice I add 2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice.
