This one’s a very typical, traditional & absolutely popular dish in all the Maharashtrian households & is surely a YUMMMMM 🤤😋
Even, for the non-Marathis like us never could stop preparing it quite often even when I’d left the land since ages of my very brief stay therein & thereafter relocating towards the state of Gujarat. Such plethora of typical dishes from different regions, places & provinces not only from my own country but also overseas- Wherever I’ve had my foot in for quite sometime either due to my own professional requirements or just in order to relocate with my own family as & when it’s called for- Has actually instigated the rush of sheer nostalgia to my maternal house in Kolkata this time, wherein I’ve stationed myself for quite sometime now due to my own certain familial needs at the moment before again, touching my base in Bangalore quite shortly !!!

Steps

30-35 mins.

1

Firstly, to keep in mind that the leftover rice & aloo sabji all need be in the absolute RT before you start onto cooking-
Leaving out the tempering spices & lemon juice-
Mix rest all other ingredients & dry spices & masala powders with the rice, coat it nicely with your hands not leaving a single grain of the rice properly uncoated with the same- Cover & Set it Aside for at least 30 mins time if not more

Next: Heat up a wok/kadhai/pan: Add in some oil & ghee to it- Throw in the Tempering Spices to it & sauté for sometime until they start spluttering & turn aromatic- In goes the finely chopped Onions & green chillies, sauté until it turns translucent, add in the finely grated ginger & garlic & sauté continues until the raw smell goes off completely
4

Time to add in the chopped veggies to it & sauté nicely again until they all turn soft & tender a bit, check on the seasonings part & adjust accordingly if it’s required- Reduce the flame to the medium-low & cover & cook until it’s done- Add in the marinated masala rice to it now- Mix everything well together until nicely combined and well blended to get finely infused & incorporated

Flame goes off once it’s done- Cover & keep it in its standing position for another 7-8 mins time before serving it piping hot with your favourite condiments such as: Plain Yoghurt, Boondi Raita, Chutneys or simply Green Salads

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
