Steamed rice is then folded into the cilantro paste and garnished with cashews. Serve quick cilantro rice with raita of your choice. Makes: around 1 – 2 Servings of Quick Cilantro Rice. Steamed Rice 2 Cups Cilantro 2 Cups (Packed) Cashews a Small Handful Ginger Garlic Paste 1/2 tsp Green Chillies 3-5 Cloves 3 Cinnamon 1 inch stick Bay Leaf 1 Mace 1/2 inch Piece Whole Red Chiles 2 – 3 Green Cardamom 1 Cumin Seeds 1/4 tsp Curry Leaves 5 Salt to taste Oil 2 Tbsps Remove stems, wash and roughly chop green chillies. Clean and wash cilantro leaves thoroughly. Remove hard stems, roughly chop washed cilantro. Blend the chopped cilantro, green chillies and salt into smooth paste adding sufficient water. Heat oil in a pan on medium heat, add cashews and fry till golden brown in color. Remove the cashews from heat and add cumin seeds, cloves, cinnamon, mace, bay leaf, green cardamom, red chiles and curry leaves to the remaining oil. Fry briefly or until aromatic, stir in ginger garlic paste. Fry till ginger garlic pastes loses its raw smell. Then stir in cilantro paste and fry for less than a minute. Then add the already steamed rice and mix thoroughly to coat the rice with the fried paste. Remove from heat and keep it covered till required. Garnish with reserved cashews and serve quick cilantro rice with raita of your choice. Notes: Make sure not to overcook the cilantro paste. Suggestions: Use leftover rice if available and warm it up before adding to the pan. If cilantro paste is over fried and loses its fragrance, stir in few tsps of instantly blended cilantro paste to bring back the freshness. Variations: You can also add tamarind pulp or lemon juice to the cilantro paste. Other Names: Quick Cilantro Rice, Kothimera Annam.
