Talking about quick ideas that makes rice taste a bit more than plain, cooked version is another trick up my sleeve.
This is faster and quicker than the kalonji rice or the ghee podi rice , i have written about before. Adding yogurt cured chillies mustard and curry leaves s etc tempering into the cooked rice (or left over rice) revives it and it feels like you have made a pulao or variety rice.
Ingredients to make quick thallippu saadam
Cooked rice:cooked rice is the base of this recipe. You can use sona masoori, basmathi or thanjavoor ponni rice to make the steamed rice. Sticky rice is not suitable for making this recipe.
Tempering ingredients: ghee or oil is the base of the recipe. You can use coconut oil, olive oil or sesame oil as per your preference. Whole mustard seeds, cumin, black gram dal , curry leaves and mormilagai (yogurt cured chillies). Mormilagai is the key flavour factor in this recipe. Yes, you can use red chillies instead, however it doesn’t give the same flavour. You can add crushed garlic or shallots can be added to the oil as you tempering.
Seasoning : if using mor milagai, it has added salt so be watchful when you add salt to the dish. No other seasoning is really needed for this recipe.

Instead of ghee if coconut oil is used to make the tempering the recipe is then vegan.
