Preparation Method

Step 1 – Wash & Soak the Rice

Wash the Thooyamalli Rice thoroughly under clean water. Soak the rice for 4–6 hours to help it cook evenly and achieve a soft, pleasant texture.

Drain the soaked rice and add it to a pressure cooker or heavy-bottomed pot with water. Cook until the rice becomes tender while retaining its natural texture.

Step 3 – Prepare the Vegetables

Heat oil or ghee in a pan. Add cumin seeds, sliced onions, green chillies, and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until the onions become soft and aromatic.

Add the carrots, green peas, capsicum, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 4 – Mix the Rice

Add the cooked Thooyamalli Rice to the prepared vegetables. Gently mix everything together without breaking the rice grains. Cook on low heat for another 3–5 minutes to allow the flavours to blend.
