Rice Fryms

This is my mom's Traditional recipe. She is always an expert in making a new dish out of scratch. This one is an 'always seen ' item in my mom's Kitchen. Before the rainy season arrives she will make this , dry under sun and keep it in store ( in the glass bottles) and we as kids always used to ask her to fry this with as side dish for rice.
My Son also love this now and in that way am sure this will become any child's favourite.
Another main plus point with this dish is the ingredients required .. This is made using the left over rice( you an make this with freshly cooked rice also)  and a few spices that are already available in your kitchen any time. So whenever you have free time you can make this in your own home. the only difficulty is in drying this under the sun. So be ready to make this when you have plenty of sunlight available ie; during summer :))


Ingredients

Cooked Rice , Red chilli powder, Jeera seeds ,Asafoetida and Salt

The quantity depends on the quantity of cooked rice you take.

If you are using the left over rice of many days ,Keep it in fridge daily and when it comes to a large quantity you can make this.
Procedure:
-----------
In a kadai heat the rice. Evaporate till dry. Add Red Chilli powder, Jeera seeds, Hing and salt as required and saute till it forms a lump. Keep on stirring to avoid charring.

Now when it is cooled grind it in a mixer to a thick paste. Using a spring hopper ( sevanazhi) squeeze it out through the 'murukku' stencil , to the desired shape on a flat plate with a cloth spread on it. Always remember to use Satin or silk cloth. dont use paper or cotton cloth as this will stick on to the fryms when dried and is unhealthy.


Now dry these in sunlight for 2-3 days or till it is breaking off easily from the cloth. Fry in hot oil and serve. We have it with rice. and it tastes excellent.
