Instructions:

🍃 In a mixer jar or blender, add the washed and roughly chopped coriander leaves, green chillies, and garlic cloves. Blend them into a smooth paste. You can add a little water if needed to make a smooth paste. Set this coriander paste aside.

🍃 In a large pan or wok, heat oil over medium heat.

🍃 Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then, add cumin seeds, chana dal, and urad dal. Fry them until the dals turn golden brown.

🍃 Now, add the curry leaves and the dried red chilli (if using). Saute for a few seconds until the curry leaves become aromatic.

🍃 Lower the heat and add turmeric powder. Stir well to coat the spices evenly.

🍃 Next, add the prepared coriander paste to the pan. Cook the paste for a few minutes until it reduces slightly and the raw smell of the coriander disappears.

🍃 Now, add the cooked rice to the pan and mix it gently with the coriander paste and spices. Ensure the rice is evenly coated with the coriander mixture.

🍃Add salt according to your taste and mix it well.

🍃 Cook the coriander rice for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to blend.

🍃 Once done, turn off the heat, and your delicious coriander rice is ready to be served.

🍃 Serve the coriander rice hot with raita or any side dish of your choice.

🍃 Enjoy your flavourful and aromatic coriander rice! Adjust the ingredients according to your taste and preferences, and you can use any type of rice you like
