Steps

20 minutes

1

Rinse the flowers with water. Soak samak rice in water for at least 2hrs. Rinse twice with fresh water to get rid of impurities.
2

Soak the flowers in 1cup hot water and cover with lid. Within five minutes, the water will turn blue. Collect the water in a bowl. To it, add soaked samak rice and salt.
3

Cook the samak rice in butterfly pea flower soaked blue water. It can be cooked in a pressure cooker in low flame till whistle blows once. Switch off the burner and allow it to cool down. Samak rice has become blue in color.
4

Transfer the blue samak rice into a serving plate. This preparation can be tried with salad and curry. Here I have added ivy gourd or kundu curry to enhance the taste of the meal.
