Tempered rice is a quick one pot rice that can be made with leftover rice. Tempered Rice Recipe with step by step pictures.
I love thalicha sadam and whenever I have leftover rice I end up making this.Sometimes when I don’t feel like having meals for lunch I just make this tempered rice just for myself and enjoy it.This is very quick to make and when had hot nothing can beat it.You don’t need any sidedish for this rice but papad / vadam will be just perfect.
Though this recipe is very simple I wanted to post it as it might help atleast few.Hubby ordered this shell shaped plate without my knowledge and it was such a surprise to receive it yesterday.So the next moment the I saw it, I made this rice and clicked it.
