the saute over them. Serve surrounded by rice & assorted vegetables.

*Heat uncooked rice over moderate heat until golden, stirring to prevent
burning. When the colour is uniform, remove from heat, cool & gring to a
powder. It is best to use a mortar & pestle.

careful that they do not burn. Cool. Remove stems & seeds. Grind.
