Simple Vegetable Fried Rice

Fried rice is an easy to make rice preparation that simply needs the right ingredients with the right technique. It can be tried out even by beginners and get a perfect result that can boost up their confidence for trying out more complex dishes in future. So I insist that beginners need to try their hand cooking fried rice at home and serve it to the ones they love and care a lot.

Here I have tried out fried rice with onions, carrots and beans. But for better taste and the perfect aroma, you can add a capsicum, cauliflower and peas. This one is a simple fried rice with 3 vegetables that is always available in your refrigerator.

Ingredients

• Basmati rice - 2 glasses
• Beans - 1/2 kg
• Carrot - 1/2 kg
• Onions- 2 large
• Ginger - 7-8 cloves
• Garlic- 1/2 inch
• Green chillies- 2 small
• Black pepper powder- 1 tsp
• Salt
• Ghee- 2 tsp
• Vegetable oil- 3 tbsp

Method

• Cook the basmati rice separately, drain and keep aside. Make sure that you do not overcook it. 
• In a frying pan, add vegetable oil and add finely chopped onions, green chillies and saute.
• Add the finely chopped ginger and garlic to it and saute
• Now it is the turn of the vegetables. Saute well
• Add salt and black pepper, mix well
• Let it cook for 5-8 min. 
• Switch off flame after the vegetables are done
• Now in a frying pan, add ghee and heat it
• The cooked rice should be added to the ghee and mix well in slow flame
• To this, you may add the cooked vegetables and if you choose, add some fried raisins or nuts to it.
• Add celery to the rice and mix well.

• If you prefer to add soy sauce and tomato sauce, you may add them at this point. But i prefer plain fried rice this time.
