Chef's Notes
Do not rush the coconut grinding process; keeping it dry and coarse is the absolute secret to achieving that authentic Udupi texture.
Pro Tip
Use day-old cooked rice that has been completely cooled and chilled in the fridge for an hour. It prevents the grains from turning into mush when you fold in the hot masala.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the heat too low while tempering the spices will leave you with raw, rubbery lentils and un-popped mustard seeds that taste like bitter little cannonballs.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our Jester asks: Why did the rice blush? Because it saw the tamarind taking all the credit for the flavor!
The Culinary Science
When mustard seeds are heated in oil, thermal shock causes moisture inside the seed to vaporize, building pressure until the seed literally pops, releasing nutty, pungent allyl isothiocyanate compounds.
