How to make Spicy Mexican Layered Chilli Rice Recipe
To begin making the Spicy Mexican Layered Chilli Rice Recipe, we need to make two elements. Firstly, we will make the Herbed Butter Rice and secondly we will make the Mexican Chilli.
In a skillet, heat butter on low flame, add the chopped garlic and saute for a couple of minutes until the garlic turns into a light brown colour.
Next add in the mixed herbs, chilli flakes and salt. Mix well.
Finally add in the cooked white rice and toss it well. Mix in the coriander leaves and set the herbed rice aside.
To begin making the Mexican chilli, pressure cook the rajma in 2 cups of water and salt for 6 to 8 whistles.
After 6 whistles, turn the heat to low and pressure cook for another 15 minutes until the rajma is very soft. Turn off the cooker and allow the pressure to release naturally.
Once the pressure releases set the rajma aside.
Mash the rajma until it is slightly coarse. Leave a few bits of chunkiness to add to the texture.
Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan on medium heat; add the garlic and saute for a few seconds.
Stir in the tomato puree, cumin powder, red chilli, tabasco sauce and cooked rajma. Stir fry the Mexican Chilli for a couple of minutes until the mixture comes together and becomes creamy.
Adjust the salt and spices accordingly.
Turn off the flame, and set the Mexican Chilli aside.
Grease an microwavable deep dish with some butter, start layering the dish by spreading a bed of herbed rice, next spread a layer of the Mexican chilli, repeat with rice and Mexican chilli until the bowl is full.
Ensure that your last layer on top is the herbed rice. Microwave it on high heat for about a minute.
Place a serving plate over this bowl and turn it upside down and serve hot.
