Method
Add the split black urad dal to a pan and dry roast it well until nice aroma arises. Keep stirring the dal to avoid it from burning and then switch off the stove.

Now wash the rice [I have used pacha arisi, you can use brown rice, boiled rice any rice of your choice] and roasted urad dal together with water at least for 2-3 times and drain the water.

Add the washed rice and black urad dal to the pressure cooker.

Add peeled garlic cloves, fenugreek seeds, salt, 2 tsp of oil  to the pressure cooker.

Now add 3 ½ cups of water to the pressure cooker.

Pressure cook on low heat for 2 whistles and switch off the stove.

Wait for the steam to release all by itself, open the lid and fluff up the rice.

For Tempering
Heat oil in a pan, crackle cumin seeds, add curry leaves and fry until they turn crispy.

Add asafoetida/perungayam, grated coconut and saute for few seconds and switch off the stove.

Add the tempering to the rice & dal mixture.

Mix everything really well and serve it hot with Ellu Thuvaiyal. For detailed recipe of Ellu Thuvaiyal with step by step photos click here.

    Can we use whole urud dhal with skin instead? Do we need to soak it overnight or dry roast?

      Yes surely you can use the whole Black urad dal, dry roasting it is more than enough, do not soak it, it will go soggy and will not taste good.
