Vegetable fried rice


Basmati rice - 1 cup
Spring onions - 1 small bunch (chopped)
Capsicum - 1 (chopped)
Carrot, Beans. Cabbage - (chopped) 1 cup
White Pepper powder - 1 tsp
Soya sauce - 1 tsp
Salt
Oil - 1-2 tbsp

Pressure cook (or boil) rice with 1 1/2 cups water and 1/2 tsp salt for three whistles. Cool and separate with a fork.

Heat oil in a non-stick pan, add spring onions and saute for a minute on high heat. Add capsicum and other vegetables and 1/2 tsp salt and saute for two minutes. Reduce heat, add pepper, soya sauce and mix. Add rice and mix well. Cover and keep on low heat for a minute.

You can use normal pepper powder and normal onion if spring onions are not available. Add a pinch of ajinomoto, if you like the taste. Parboil or microwave vegetables for a minute, if you like them softer. This is a very quick recipe for kids lunch-box, especially if you are making in small quantities. You can add crumbled paneer with the vegetables to make paneer fried rice.
