Steps

30 minutes

1

Wash the rice
Wash 1 cup Mini Mogra rice thoroughly with water and keep it aside. No soaking is required.
2

Prepare the tadka
Heat mustard oil in a pressure cooker. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
3

Sauté the onion
Add sliced onion and sauté until lightly golden.
4

Cook the masala
Add ginger-garlic paste and green chillies. Sauté for a minute. Then add chopped tomato, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder and salt. Cook until the tomato softens and the masala is well cooked.
5

Add potatoes
Add the cubed potatoes and mix well. Cook for 3–4 minutes so they absorb all the flavours.
6

Add rice
Add the washed Mini Mogra rice directly to the cooker. Gently mix it with the masala and potatoes.
7

Add water & cook
Pour in 1½ cups of water and add garam masala. Mix gently. Close the pressure cooker and cook for 1 whistle on medium flame.
8

Turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally. Open the cooker and gently fluff the Tehri. Garnish with fresh coriander.
9

Serve hot with fresh curd/raita, pickle, papad or a little ghee. 😋

Tips

Mini Mogra rice can be washed and used directly; soaking is not needed.
If using basmati rice, soak it for 15–20 minutes before cooking.
Mustard oil gives the Tehri its authentic, earthy flavour.
