    Vegetarian fried rice

    Ingredients

    2 cups basmati rice

    Spices

    Green cardamom 2 pods

    One stick cinnamon (1/2 inch)

    One star anise

    Mustard seeds

    Cumin seeds

    Salt to taste

    Coriander powder

    Roasted cumin powder

    Chilli flakes

    Green chillies slit ( 2 nos)

    Vegetables

    Roughly 1 cup

    Carrots julienne

    Capsicum julienne

    Onion sliced

    Beans chopped

    Peas boiled

    Beat root julienne

    Fried potato fries

    Cabbage thinly sliced

    Broccoli florets (blanched)

    Steps:

    Boil / steam rice with peas, cardamom pods, star anise, cinnamon stick and some salt to taste.

    Once they look almost done strain them out.

    In a big skillet add some vegetable oil and add a tsp of mustard seeds, once they start to sputter add a tsp of cumin seeds.

    Now add sliced onion , green chilies and sauté for a minute.

    Now add all the remaining vegetables but not beetroot.

    Add a tsp of roasted cumin powder
    A tsp of garlic powder
    A tsp of coriander powder
    Salt to taste

    Sauté for a minute or two more . Once you can smell the aroma of cooked spices add the steamed rice ( remove the star anise , cinnamon, cardamom)

    Add a dash of vinegar or juice of half a lemon .

    Mix everything well making sure the rice don’t get mushy. More like tossing and flipping the pan 🙂

    Now add beetroot julienne, some chopped coriander.

    Note : you can also add chopped green onions but I was out .

    Enjoy !

    So like a pilau or biryani? 

    I guess if rice is fried you can call it fried rice.

    You guys know a trick. The fried rice tastes better with older rice (a meal or two) than with the freshly made rice.
