Piaja Saga Kanji (Spring Onion and Rice Soup)


Ingredients:
3 Bunches of Spring Onion
1-1/2 Cup Cooked Rice
3 Dried Mango
4 Cups Water
3 Red Chili
3 Cloves of Garlic crushed
1 Tsp Turmeric Powder
1 Tsp Mustard seed
Salt to taste
Oil for tempering

Procedure:
In a saucepan add water, rice, turmeric and dried mango and bring it to boil. Boil the mixture until water quantity become half.
Then cut the spring onions, not the thick part only the leaves and add into the water and rice mixture. Add some salt but careful the dried mango itself has enough salt. So check the salt then add enough to it. Bring the mixture to boil until the nice aroma of the spring onion comes may be 5-10 more minutes.
Now we will add tempering to the mixture. In a pan heat up some oil, then add red chili, add mustard seed, after the mustard seed crackles add crushed garlic to it. Saute for few seconds then add this tempering to the water and spring onion mixture.
Boil the mixture for one more minute and voila this is that simple.
Serve hot with rice and some curry. You can just have it just like that as soup.

PS: If you have fermented rice water then reduce the number of dried mango in the recipe.
