samak ke chawal

From samak we can make samak ki kheer, namkeen samak ke chawal. Today I am going to share namkeen samak ke chawal. It can be served with the aloo ka raita and dhaniya pudina ki chutni. You can see both of these recipes on my youtube channel.

Some people do not eat tomatoes during the fasts. So, if you are one of those then do not add tomatoes to this recipe.

Notes

  1. You can use roasted peanuts in it. It will enhance the taste of the recipe and will add the crunch in the recipe.
  2. You can use a carrot or any other vegetable in it which you have in fasts.
  3. Tomatoes are optional. Some people do not have tomatoes in fasts. If you are one of these families then don’t add this in the recipe.
  4. Use twice the quantity of water of chawal. It is the right proportion to cook this recipe. 
  5. You can add black pepper powder in a recipe to enhance the taste.  I haven’t added in my dish but you can add this also in it.
  6. If you love the spicy dish then you can add more green chillies in it.
