Tricolor Rice

It is great feeling on the 72nd Independence day for India. It feels liberating. Typically I make something in the national Tri-colour like sandwiches, puri, cutlets, dhokla or rice. Today keeping my tradition in mind and influence of Bangalore I created this tri-colour rice using our natural ingredients. This rice has a personal history as it connects with my favourite person in my unmarried days. My Sister-in-law used to make it and we like gluttons use to polish this off in minutes. I have tried to get the same flavour.

Ingredients

• 2 cup Boiled Long grain Rice
• 1/2 cup boiled spinach puree
• 1/2 cup curd
• 1 carrot grated
• 1 chopped tomato
• 1 chopped onion
• 1 tsp ginger
• 1 tsp garlic
• 1 tsp mustard seeds
• 3 tsp oil
• salt and chilli to taste
  

Method

1. Make 3 equal portions of the boiled rice.
2. For the Green Colour :  Take a wok & put 1 tsp oil and heat. Add mustard seed, onion ginger, spinach puree and saute. Then add 1 portion of rice with salt & chilli and saute for some time. Keep Aside
3. For White colour : Take a wok put 1tsp oil and heat. Add mustard seeds and salt and rice and saute. Let the rice cool and then add curd to the same. Keep Aside.
4. For orange Colour : Take a Wok put 1 tsp oil and heat. Add Mustard seeds, ginger, tomato, grated carrot and saute for some time. Add salt, chilli and rice and saute for some time. Keep Aside
5. For assembly of the rice please take a glass flat bowl and layer the same. Since curd rice can bleed so after that layer put in fridge till it sets and then put the third layer.

My family just love to eat it like this or with some pickles or Lentils. Do share your version and combinations.
