Cold rice salad with apples and cashews, Indian-style

Still experimenting with Indian flavors. I did measure things out this time but, of course, all proportions are a matter of taste, especially spices. This is my first time using chaat masala and cardamom so definitely still tinkering with quantities but we liked this enough to share it.

Ingredient

Food ration :

2-4 servings

2 cups

cooked rice

1 cup

chopped apple

1/2 cup

cashews, chopped

1/4 tsp

crushed cardamom seeds (optional)

1/4 tsp

coriander seeds

1/8 tsp

yellow mustard seeds

1/8 tsp

cumin seeds

1/2 tbs

coconut oil

1/2 tbs

turmeric powder

1 tbs

chaat masala powder

1 tbs

butter

1 tsp

1/4

1/4 cup

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Heat coconut oil in a sauce pan over medium-high heat, then add the cardamom, cumin, coriander, and mustard, and bloom until fragrant, about 30 sec to a minute.

* Step 2

Lower heat to low-medium, add in rice, then season to taste with salt. Add in turmeric and chaat masala, and mix. Heat for about five minutes, mixing often, then remove from heat.

* Step 3

Peel and core the apple and cut into small chunks. Melt butter and stir in jaggery paste until dissolved, then add apples. Coat well and cook over medium-high heat until apples turn brown and tender but are still firm (3 to 5 mins).
