    Fried Rice (Sri Lankan style)

    Ingredients
    2 cups Rice (Parboiled)
    100 g Cashew
    50 g Raisin
    50 g Green Peas
    250 g Shrimp
    2 onions (diced)
    2 oz Butter or margarine
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    1/2 tsp. turmeric (or preferably Spanish saffron)
    2 cloves
    2 pieces cinnamon
    1 piece lemongrass
    to taste salt

    Cooking the Rice
    Add the butter to the saucepan and heat for a minute at low heat. Add the rice
    and water. A easy way of measuring the right amount of water would be to add
    the rice, stick in the index finger on surface of rice and fill water upto the 2nd
    joint of the index finger (a little less is also fine). Add salt and turmeric and
    bring to boil (if not in rice cooker). Then turn the heat to low cover and leave for
    15-20 minutes. The rice should be ready by then.
    The other stuff (to be done while rice is cooking)
    Add oil to a large pan and heat. Fry the shrimps until brown (well done).
    Remove the shrimp. Add the cashew, raisins, green peas, onion with the cloves
    cinnamon and lemon grass and fry for about 5 minutes or until onions are a
    brown color. Remove from fire and wait for rice.
    Finally when the rice is ready add the rice, shrimp and the rest and mix well and
    maybe heat for about 3-5 minutes.
    The flavor is enhanced if the mixed rice is kept for about 6 hours and then
    reheated (microwave) prior to serving.

    1. In a large bowl mix flour, coconut, salt, onions, butter, and chilies. Mix thoroughly until pieces of onion and green chilies are coated with flour.
    2. Add water and mix to a suitable consistency that will not stick to the bowl. Divide the dough in to 8 equal balls.
    3. Flatten them to get a nice round large roti. You can decide the size of the rotti at this point either by fully flattening to achieve a crispy rotti, or by leaving it thicker.
    4. Heat a frying pan and add some butter to it. Fry rotties on both sides,
    5. Heat pan with stove and bake the rotti on it. When one side is baked, turn over to the other side and brown.
    Serve with sambol, curry and rice.
