Sri Lankan Famous Milk Rice ,Ginger Sambal & Anchovies Sambal 3 in 1 Recipe

Milk Rice

Ingredients:

1 Cup Red Raw Rice 

1500Ml water

150Ml Milk 

salt to taste

Method:

Wash the rice a number of times with water until the water runs pure from the rice. Soak rice if you wish to support your cooking time.

In a large pot on high heat add rice and water. Bring rice to a boil then condense to a temperate cook (medium-low heat) and allow to cook for 20-30 minutes until almost all the water is fascinated. Next add the milk and the salt to taste. Mix all ingredients well and cook in at a low heat until the milk is fully absorbed. The rice should be very kind and the regularity of the rice should be creamy (kind of like a fixed rice pudding).

Although this rice is completely delicious on its own, it is traditionally served with Sambal/Anchovies sambal.

Anchovies Sambal 

Ingredients:

1 Medium onion cut finely by hand 

2 Tbsp red chili flakes 

6 Pieces Anchovies

1 Medium Tomato cut finely by hand

Salt to taste

1-2 tsp lime juice (or to taste) - lemon juice can be substituted.

Method:

Add all ingredients and use a mortar and pestle to smash the ingredients depressed.  If you do not have a mortar and pestle handy, put in a shatter proof bowl and gently pound with a heavy bottom bottle.  Pounding the ingredients helps develop the flavour so this is a must. Taste for salt and lime juice and adjust as needed.
