Yalanji

Method

1. 1

   Mix rice (raw) with tomato, onion, mint, half the oil and half the molasses.

2. 2

   Roll a teaspoon into each leaf: fold sides, roll snug but not tight.

   💡 Loose enough for the rice to swell — overtight rolls split and sulk.

3. 3

   Pack seam-down in layers, weight with a plate, cover with water, lemon and remaining oil/molasses.

4. 4

   Simmer gently 50 minutes; cool in the pot. Serve at room temperature or cold.
