Spicy left over rice (Vagherla Bhat)

Growing up there was always left over rice in the kitchen, and this recipe is a great way to make plain boiled rice into an exciting dish with attitude (as Jaime would say).

Ingredients

1 cup of left over cooked rice.
1/2 tsp of chilli powder
1/2 tsp of turmeric
3/4 tsp of salt
3/4 tsp of mustard seeds
3/4 tsp of cumin seeds
Some vegetable oil.

Method

Put the rice on a plate and add the chilli powder, turmeric and salt. Heat some oil in a frying pan, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they start to pop and smell aromatic add the rice and mix well. Keep mixing until all the rice is covered with the spices and everything is cooked through.

I love this dish, and I don't know anyone who doesn't. Its great with some yoghurt or just as is.
