Trois recettes de riz Pour L’été!
À l'île Maurice, deux choses sont si typique de notre île et de l'été, les mangues et la noix de coco. Alors, en pensant aux plats spéciale été, ces préparations de riz de l'Inde me sont venues en tète. Voyons comment ils sont fait.
Three Rices For The Season
Rice is undeniably the Mauritian staple but too often eaten the same way and simply used to accompany currys and other dishes. Why not combine rice with seasonal produce and very local elements and get our palates all 'summery'? Why not mix green mangoes, coconut, and to cool it off, some curd with rice? Sounds interesting? Here are three rices, very famous in South India, that could very well be Mauritian by all means and make way on those summer meal tables. They are made with ingredients readily available here and very easy to prepare. I propose you three rices for the season, summer. The three rices can be eaten together in small portions each in a same meal, or consumed individually and accompanied by countless dishes. Enjoy!

The lentils and rice are left to soak for 5 to 6 hours, then ground to a paste.
