Bagara Rice

1. Contributor: Sravanthi Suresh
anni curries vunnayyi kadha, lite ga bagara laaga chesthey flavour vuntundhi and baguntundhi... simple ga kuda ayipothundhi...

basmati rice ni one hour mundhu nanabedithey rice poduka avuthundhi ani amma cheppindhi and it really works for me...(ignore if you already know this) First popu vesi, then add whole garam masala (bay leaf, ciannamon stick, cardamom and cloves) once you notice the dry masala is half done then add ginger garlic paste... raw smell poyinaka add drained rice and let it fry for couple of minutes... then add water (use water that you actually used to soak the rice) then add salt and garam masala... add ghee just before it finishes or when water starts to boil manchi taste vasthundhi...
this goes well with all the curries and is not that complicated and moreover you get a different flavour than your regurlar white rice

another easy version of bagara is this.. My mil use to make it.. rice wash chesi, soak it with enough water to cook it. If you use 1: 1 1/2 ratio rice to water, then pour that ratio water and soak the rice. Daantlo nee cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, caraway seeds, salt, crushed garlic and butter (she use ti use butter) vesi rice ni at least 30 minutes soak cheyali. Even if you soak it longer also it is fine.. spices manchi gaa soak ayyi manchi aroma vastadhi.. You can soak rice directly in the rice cooker container. rice soak ayyaka, oka sari manchi baa stir chesi, cooker on cheyali. mix rice once or twice when it is cooking. She use to add some peas towards the end. American store loo green peas aithye, add it after the cooker shuts off. peas vesi mix chesi cover it. aa steam ki peas cook aipothavi. If you buy peas from the indian store, than rice 75 - 80% cook ayyaki peas vesi mix chesi let it cook. Last loo cilantro to garnish. Peas vadanukuntee you can skip it also. Taste baane vunatadhi.. if like the recipe ee roju koncham trail chesi chudi.. Parties ki ee recipe chana best anipistadhi, as yuo need not do much.

Baked Ras Malai

1. Contributor: ܧhå Rãø
Vineela, you can make baked ras malai with ricotta cheese. I use to make it when I first came here. I haven't prepared it in a long time and hence do not remember the baking time & temperature. Approximate measures tho chesina, you can not go wrong with the recipe.. You can try it on trial and error basis.

Ricotta cheese oka strainer loo vesi drain the liquid. Transfer it to a baking dish it and mix it well with sugar and cardamom powder. Taste the cheese and adjust sugar accordingly. Bake it for 20-30 minutes at 350F until cheese is light golden brown. Taste a little and if you feel it needs to be baked a little longer, put it bake in the oven and bake it. Once it is baked, cut it to squares or diamond shaped.

Oven loonchi teesi, pour 1/2 and 1/2 over it. You can add a little sugar to 1/2 & 1/2,, if you wish. This is going to the ras. Sprinkle some chopped pistachios and refrigerate.
