Fried has been a people's dish, so colorful, so nutritious, yet so humble in its origin and reign....
I decided to chop few non-Indian veges like Bok Choy(Used in Chinese dishes), Zucchini (a type of squash, like cucumber), Jalapeño ( Red paparika family).You can substitute any vege here with anything thats available in your fridge. As i had been to a vege store,this evening, i decided all these veges will go into fried rice for dinner.
This is how to proceed
Ingredients:
1. Cauliflower -5 florets
2. Zucchini - 1
3. Bok choy - 3-4 leaves
4. Carrot - 1
5. Pink cabbage - 5 leaves
6. Onion - 1
7. Ginger - 1 inch
8. Garlic - 3 pods
9. Jalapeños - 1
NOTE: jalapeño is very hot and thus you WILL have to deseed and remove the thin vein that is responsible for the spicy flavor.
10. Pepper powder - 1 tsp
11. Butter - 1 small cube
12. Oil - 2 tsp
13. Salt to taste
14. Soy sauce - 1 tsp
15. Cumin seeds - 1tsp
16. Boiled Rice - 2 cups
Chop all the veges in desired size and shape. Micro wave/Boil carrot, cabbage and cauliflower for 6 minutes. Heat oil and butter in a wok, add cumin seeds and pepper powder. Add ginger, garlic, onion, bokchoy, zucchini, jalapeño and fry them till they are soft; add the boiled vege to it, salt and soy sauce and saute them for a while. Now mix the boiled white rice with this and cook it for 2-3 minutes until the desired consistency is reached. You can either take it off teh fire when it is sticky or let it cook for few more minutes to dry the rice. Anyway, the flavor is retained.
Well accompanied by tomato ketchup or Mint chutney to give an Indian flavor!
