RECIPE  NO. 8

'Tahaer'

(E-Yellow Rice)  (H-'Tahari', Ya, Kesri Bhat')

'Tahaer' is generally prepared by Pandits on auspicious days as a 'Prasad'. Muslims also prepare it on certain occasions. Generally Non-vegetarian people eat 'Tahaer' with cooked Liver (K-'Charvan') which is condimented predominantly with Red Chili Powder.

Method of Cooking

The process of cooking is same as in the case of Plain Cooked Rice ('Bhat'). While starting to boil the rice a teaspoon of Turmeric Powder is added to each kg. of the rice and the added water, and then stirred well. This makes the rice yellow. When it is transferred to a basin for serving, about 4 tablespoons of thoroughly boiled mustard oil, or heated 'Ghi', and a tablespoon of salt, are mixed with 'Tahaer', made of one kg. of rice, and it is ready for serving.
