Cooking Steps
- 1Prepare the Oyster Masala:
- 2Clean the oysters thoroughly and drain them. Reserve the oyster water/liquor, strain it well, and keep it aside.
- 3Heat 6–7 tbsp oil in a heavy-bottomed pan.
- 4Add the sliced onions and sauté until light golden.
- 5Add the chopped green chilies and sauté for a minute.
- 6Add the chopped tomato and cook until soft.
- 7Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté until the raw smell disappears.
- 8Add turmeric powder, salt, and garam masala. Mix well.
- 9Add the cleaned oysters and cook gently for a few minutes.
- 10Add the strained oyster water and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
- 11Add chopped coriander leaves and mix well.
- 12Turn off the flame, cover with a lid, and keep the oyster masala aside.
- 13Prepare the Rice Batter:
- 14Wash the parboiled rice thoroughly and soak it for 7–8 hours. Drain completely.
- 15In a blender, add the small onions, green chillies, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger-garlic paste, fennel seeds, turmeric powder, and a little water. Blend well.
- 16Add the blended mixture to the soaked rice. Add a little salt and mix well.
- 17Transfer the rice mixture to the blender in batches. Add coconut and a little water and blend until smooth.
- 18Continue blending the remaining rice with coconut and a little water until you get a smooth batter.
- 19Transfer the prepared batter to a large vessel.
- 20Add a little water to the blender, rinse out any remaining batter, and pour it into the vessel. Mix well.
- 21Combine and Cook the Mixture:
- 22Add the prepared oyster masala to the rice batter and mix well.
- 23Add a little water as required and mix until you get a smooth, thick consistency.
- 24Place the vessel on the stove and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom.
- 25Add 1–2 tbsp oil and mix well.
- 26Cook until the mixture becomes thick and reaches a thick batter-like consistency.
- 27Turn off the flame and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- 28Bake:
- 29Grease a baking dish generously with oil.
- 30Transfer the prepared oyster-rice mixture into the greased dish and spread it evenly.
- 31Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- 32Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the mixture is completely cooked and firm in the center, with a lightly golden top.
- 33Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes
- 34Cut into pieces and serve warm.
