    Brinji Recipe

    Bay Leaf is one my favorite spice to use in cooking because of its unique aroma..If you can find fresh bay leaf then you can use that, but I always have dried bay leaf in my pantry always. Dried Bay Leaf doesn't have any aroma when you smell them as it is, but once you throw them in hot oil or ghee then it releases it aroma and it just fills your entire house.

    I love making this rice because it has lots of spices and while you are frying them in hot ghee, wow the smell will be so good. This rice has some sweetness and richness to it from the coconut milk you use it it. This is one of the must try rice recipe.

    How to Make Brinji Rice Recipe (Brinji Recipe)

    1. Soak basmati rice for 30 mins. Drain it and fry it a tsp of ghee for 5 mins. Remove and set aside.
    2. Now heat ghee in a pressure cooker. Add all the whole spices and saute for a min.
    3. Add in onions and green chilli. Saute this for 5 mins. Add in ginger garlic paste and mix well. Season with some salt.
    4. Add in the fried basmati rice and toss well. Pour in some coconut milk and water and bring it to a boil.
    5. Simmer the flame and cover the pressure cooker and cook it for 1 whistle and simmer for 10 mins.
    6. Switch off the flame and let the pressure go all by itself. Fluff it up with a fork and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve.
