Methi Mutter Pulav / Fenugreek Peas Rice


This is recipe is just my experiment. The idea came from my husband who loves methi and matter, but not very fond of rice; So he challenged me to make rice with methi and matter such that he could love and relish it. And guess what?- He did love it!... Its simple, quick and healthy.

Ingredients:
Rice -2 cups cooked
Onion-1 sliced in rings
Tomato - 3 chopped finely
Boiled sweet corn- ¼ cup
Capsicum – ½ chopped in small cubes
Green Chilli-2 slited
Dry Fenugreek Leaves / Kasuri Methi Leaves – 3 tblspn
Boiled Peas - 1 cup
Fennel Seeds / Saunf- 1 tsp
Mustard Seeds / Rai- 1 tsp
Red Chilli Powder/Lal Mirch - 1 tsp
Coriander Powder / Dhaniya -1 tsp
Turmeric powder / Haldi-1 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil-2 tblspn
Lemon Juice-to taste

Method:
Soak kasuri methi leaves in water for 2 minutes. Drain it and squeeze well. Set this aside.
Heat oil and add in mustard and fennel seeds and allow it to crackle.
Add in onions, boiled sweet corn, green chilli and cook till translucent.
Add in chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric and mix well.
Then add in tomatoes, capsicum and salt mix well. Cook till it turns mushy.
Add in the drained kasuri methi leaves, peas and toss well.
Lastly add in rice and toss well. Cook till rice is well heated and had soaked the flavours
Squeeze some lemon juice and mix once for the last time.
