Vegetable fried rice / Indo Chinese recipe

 Before marriage   I have tried  fried rice on my own . My family was also comfortable with my very own style. That days... I am not familiar with spring onions. And it is very rare to find in market at my place. So  I avoided that veggie and  usually make with cabbage , capsicum and carrot. Nowadays I am following     this style... So without further delay, lets move to  the recipe...

Here is the recipe...

Ingredients:

Basmati rice - 1 cup

Carrot (small) - 1 no.

Capsicum (small) - 1 no.

Cabbage - 1 cup

Spring onions - 6 -7 nos

Soya sauce - 1 tsp

Pepper powder - 1 1/2 tsp

Olive oil- 2 tbsp

Salt to taste

Water as needed

            

Method:

1. Soak Basmati rice for half an hour and cook with 1 and half cup of water. Separate the grains.  Cut the  veggies as thin strips. Separate the white and green part of spring onion. See the picture below.

                                                                          

2. Heat olive oil in a pan , add the white part of spring onion. Fry it in a high flame for 1 min.

My husband and me enjoyed a lot by having this fried rice with vegetable Manchurian...

So here is a virtual treat for you guys...

Notes:

• Olive oil works best.
• Cutting the veggies as thin strips is very important.
• The veggies should remain crunchy . So fry all the veggies for only one minute as mentioned in the method.
• Rice and water ratio depends upon the quality of basmati rice. If you soak the rice for 30 mins then 1 and half cup water is required for 1 cup of rice. if  you don't soak then 2 cups of water is required.
