This recipe was featured on week 43 of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Burma is my 43rd stop. This recipe is by Burmese blogger Tin Cho Chaw. Ingredients:
1 cup basmati rice |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/4 cup split dried channa dal, soaked for 8 hours |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 2/3 cups water |
2 bay leaves |
1 cinnamon stick |
Directions:
1. Drain the dal and rinse the basmati rice until the water runs clear. Put the rice in a pot and layer the soaked dal on top. Add the remaining ingredients and the water.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed.
3. Let rest for five minutes before serving.
