  • Add whisked curd and mix well. Saute for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add drained rice and mix well.
  • Add 3 cups water and required salt. Mix well.
  • Close the lid and place a heavy object like mortar and pestle on top.
  • Cook in low flame for 20-25 minutes. Once done, fluff the rice with fork garnish with fried onions and serve tahiri hot.

Notes

  • Adjust spice powder as per taste.
  • Instead of whole spices you can add 1 teaspoon garam masala along with chili powder, but the flavor will vary.
  • Cook in a heavy pot and in low flame to avoid burning the tahiri at the bottom. If your pot is not heavy, you can place it on a tava and cook.
