Instructions: To begin making the Vietnamese Rice Pockets With Caramelised Onions & Chillies, pressure cook the rice with 2 cups of water in a pressure cooker for about 3 whistles.Once done allow the pressure to release naturally, set aside. Keep the idli steamer over a medium heat with enough water below, for at least 5 minutes until the steam starts. Meanwhile, heat a sauce pan with oil, add chopped onions and sprinkle little salt and saute till the onions turn golden brown and get caramelised. This will take at least 20 minutes to get done.Now to make the pockets, cut out a square shaped piece of the banana leaf, add 1 ladle of cooked rice, top it up with some caramelised onions and chopped dry red chillies. Fold the banana leaf to form a “Potli” or small “Packet”, tie it securely with a thin thread. Place the Rice Pockets inside the idli steamer and steam the Vietnamese Rice Pockets With Caramelised Onions and Chillies for at least 5 minutes and serve.Serve the Vietnamese Rice Pocket Recipe With Caramelised Onions & Chillies along with Chicken Mappas Recipe (Chicken in Coconut Milk Curry) and Vietnamese Vegetarian Spring Rolls to make a delicious meal for dinner.
