Instructions
Making the Rice Khichu
Add the green chillies, cumin, and salt to the water.
Boil the spiced water for 2-3 minutes.
Taste the water. It should be salty. Add salt, if required.
Turn the heat down to low.
Slowly add the rice flour to the simmering water while stirring continuously.
Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
Turn the heat up to medium and cook covered for 3 to 5 minutes. Mix occasionally.
When all the water is absorbed and the Rice Khichu starts to leave the sides, turn off the heat.
Divide into 4 equal portions.
Drizzle some chilli oil and garnish with coriander.
Serve immediately.
Making the Chilli Oil
Heat the oil.
Turn off the heat.
Add the chilli powder.
Mix well.
Notes
Traditionally, Papad Khar is added to the Rice Khichu. I did not have any at home so did not add any. It did not affect the taste.
Many recipes I saw online use Soda Bicarb as a substitute for Papad Khar. I did not add any.
This is a dish best served
hot
. It is not as appetizing when served cold.
