Spicy Turmeric Rice with Ginger Masala

1In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiled rice (2 cups), salt (1 tsp), turmeric powder (½ tsp), and red chili powder (½ tsp). Mix well to evenly coat the rice with the spices.

2Heat a pan over medium heat and add the wheat flour (½ cup). Roast the flour until it turns golden brown and aromatic, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.

3In the same pan, add a little oil and sauté the minced ginger until fragrant.

4Add the masala powder (1 tsp), pepper (½ tsp), and curry leaves (5-6) to the pan with the ginger. Stir well to combine the flavors.

5Transfer the spiced rice mixture from the bowl into the pan with the ginger masala. Mix everything together gently to ensure the rice is coated with the masala mixture.

6Cook the rice on low heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Adjust seasoning if needed.

7Once the rice is heated through and well combined with the masala, remove from heat and serve hot. Garnish with additional curry leaves (5-6) if desired.
