Instructions

29 steps
  1. 1

    To begin with the Baked Chevdo Recipe, first preheat the oven to 220 C

    Sift the beaten rice using a large sieve sifter to remove any fine excess powders

    teaspoons turmeric powder (haldi)(2)red chilli powder - (adjust)(1/2 teaspoon)
  3. 3

    Do it in batches

  4. 4

    Next, depending on the size of the oven, place the beaten rice on the baking sheet, drizzle a little bit of oil based on the quantity and then a little bit of salt

    salt - to taste
  5. 5

    Now stir to combine the oil and salt into the beaten rice

    salt - to taste
  6. 6

    The oil we add is just to make sure the salt gets coated onto the beaten rice to give a nice taste

  7. 7

    Place the beaten rice into the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until very very lightly browned

  8. 8

    raisins(1/4 cup)
  16. 16
