Steps

15 mins

1

Take a pan/clay pot and dry roast the rice. When it puffs up set it aside to cool. Once cooled, pulse it coarsely in a dry mixer.
2

Wash the Moringa leaves 3 to 4 times in clean water. Drain the water completely. Take the moringa leaves & turmeric powder in a pan or clay pot & set it on medium flame. Add very little salt since the moringa leaves settle down (decreae in quantity) on cooking. Sprinkle little water and stir occasionally.
3

The moringa leaves will be cooked in 3 to 4 mins. Now add the rice powder and mix well. Adding rice powder is optional. But when added, it absorbs excess water and also enhaces the taste. Cook for 30 seconds & then add the grated coconut. Cook for another 30 seconds. Switch off the flame.
4

For seasoning, heat coconut oil in a pan and add crushed garlic cloves. When the garlic color changes to golden brown add red chilli flakes. Stir for 3 seconds & add it to Moringa upkari & mix well. Healthy Moringa Upkari is ready to be served with rice.
