A Super Quick Snack: Chirer(Flattened Rice) Pulao

I really get tired after coming from work and just to the contrary my pra (brother) Supartim gets super hungry. This week we both were in morning shift and he generally keeps to his den(room) talking to his loved one. I have known him for almost two years now and one thing super seeds his affection for the one is his love for food. So he comes to me around 5:30 pm and tells me he is feeling ohh so hungry. I won't lie I was also feeling my appetite so got up and looked up at the Bachelor's inventory. I asked him, will you have chirer (Flattened Rice) pulao and a smile filled his face , I got my answer. This took me around 30 mints to prepare.The amount served two of us.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 Cup of Chire(Flattened Rice)
  • 1 Medium Onion finely diced
  • 4 Garlic finely diced
  • 1 small piece of Ginger finely diced
  • 1/2 cup Peanuts
  • 2 Potatoes 
  • 1 Cup of Green Peas
  • 3 Green Chilly finely diced
  • 1 tspn Chilly Powder
  • Sugar and Salt to taste


First thing that needs to be done is rinse the chire(Flattened Rice) properly in cold water so that it gets soft.Keep it aside and lets start with the preparation.
  • Take about 3 tbspn of oil in a pan and heat it well. Fry the Peanuts and diced potatoes with turmeric and salt till they start to brown. Take them out of the pan in a container.
  • Now put the finely diced onions and green chilly in the pan and saute well on medium heat.
  • When the Onions become translucent put the diced up Ginger and Garlic and saute for two minutes.
  • Add 1 tspn of chilly powder and just a hint of water and mix the masala . You will know its ready when oil starts to seep from the edges.
  • Add the fried Potatoes and Green Peas mix them well, add salt and sugar to taste.Its supposed to be a bit sweet so a be generous with the sugar you put in.
  • Add half cup of water till the potatoes gets boiled, then dry up the extra water in the pan. 
  • Add the chire to the pan and mix well so that it absorbs all the masala .Put the pre fried peanuts in the pan and mix it for around 5 minutes.
Please taste and check the salt and sugar and its done. Supratim had a taste and was pleased with what he just had and said we have to have coffee with this. Let me tell you he makes the best coffee you will ever have. We enjoyed the Super Quick Snack: Chirer(Flattened Rice) Pulao . To all bachelors you can make this for breakfast also.
