Vegetable Fried Rice
One of my most popular dishes! You can never say no this very simple preparation - can be prepared in minutes with leftover rice.
Ingredients:
1 cup – finely chopped and cooked vegetables (carrots, fine beans, spring onions)
2 cups cooked rice (I would strongly recommend sona masoori rice cooked the previous day)
2 tsp finely chopped garlic
2 chilies finely chopped
Salt per taste
1 tsp soy sauce (I suggest Amoy Dark soy Sauce)
½ tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp ajinomoto (flavor enhancer)
1 tsp chilli powder
Oil for frying
Coriander leaves to garnish
Procedure:
I would strongly recommend using leftover rice or cokked rice left standing for a while. If hot freshly cooked rice is used, the preparation make turnout pasty.
Pour some oil in a skillet, add cumin seeds – let them splutter. Then add the chopped garlic, chillies and then the cooked vegetables (I suggest the chopped vegetables be cooked in a cooker with a little salt and turmeric). Fry for a minute. Then add salt, chilli powder, soy sauce and ajinomato. Add the cooked rice and stir fry everything on a high flame for just a minute. Make sure that everything is mixed well. Then simmer the flame and keep shifting the rice around for about 2 minutes until the rice is coated well with all the flavors. Finally add chopped coriander and serve hot.
