Quick Indian Fried Rice
- 1 Tbsp Brown Mustard Seeds
- 3 Green Chillies (split lengthways)
- 1 Tbsp Curry Leaves (optional)
- 1 Cup Uncooked Basmati Rice
- 1 Cup Onions (Sliced Long)
- 2-3 Potatoes (chopped 1cm cubes)
- 1 Cup Frozen peas
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
- Juice of 1 lime
- Fresh Coriander
- Oil
- Water
- Boil the rice until it is just done.
- Drain off in a colander, and place under running cold water to stop the cooking process, and ensure that the rice does not stick together.
- We can also use left over rice if preferred.
- In a large pan, heat the oil, and then add the green chillies.
- Once Chillies are sputtering, add the mustard seeds and heat until they give off a nutty aroma.
- Add the curry leaves and onions, and cook until the onions are soft.
- Once the onions are soft, add the potatoes and peas, salt, turmeric and sugar.
- Mix well, cover and simmer till the potatoes are done (about 10-15 minutes) If potatoes seem to stick, splash a few drops of water in the pan to prevent catching.
- Remove the cover, increase the heat and add the rice after fluffing it with a fork to ensure they are all seperate.
- squeeze the juice of 1 lime on the mixture, and stir it until it is nicely mixed and heated thru.
- Add 2 Tbsp of water, reduce heat and cover for a further five minutes, until it is nicely warmed through.
- Sprinkle with a large handful of chopped coriander, mix well and serve.
- If preferred, can be served with greek yoghurt.
- Enjoy
