Chaa Da Cup - Please!

Chaa Da Cup - Please! is a food blog created for all food lovers

(n.b - mostly chai loving lovers).

The various mixtures of ingredients and recipes complement a hearty Chaa Da Cup! - you'll probably be looking (asking) for one ;)

This is my version of home cooked Punjabi-Kenyan heartiness.

No.32 – Mitte Chawl

7 different ingredients - 30min to prepare - serves over 5 people

Ingredients:

1 bowl - rice.

1 bowl - granulated sugar.

2 bowls - water.

1 large tbsps - ghee.

1/4 tsp - orange food colouring.

2-3 large - cloves.

2-3 large - cinnamon sticks.

Method:

Making the Rice:

In a large bowl add 1 small bowl of rice and let it to soak for 30min, this will allow the rice to open/puff up better.

In a wide pan add a tablespoon of ghee, 2 or 3 large cloves and cinnamon sticks and 1/4 of a tsp of orange food colouring, let all the ingredients open up (release flavour) into the ghee until it gets hot. Once the ghee is hot add 2 small bowls (same size as rice and sugar bowls) into the pan with the ghee and let the water come to a boil.

In the meantime, wash and sieve the rice out from the soaking water.

Once the water is at boiling point and bubbles are visible, add the sieved rice to the boiling water. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the water to come to rise again. Once the water is boiling turn down the heat to the lowest temperature, sprinkle the granulated sugar over the rice evenly and let the it cook in the steam until all the water has evaporated.

Once all the water has evaporated, check along the line to see if the rice is soft and cooked, part the rice using a fork, and finally serve your mitte chawl (these are classically served with cold bundi wala dai (gram flour drops in yogurt)) with a steaming hot Chaa da Cup - Please! on a warm breezy afternoon.
