Am back after a long hiatus into blogging and what better way than to dish up a fried rice :)
Swami is away on work for a week and I had 3 tbsp of cooked rice leftover from last nite. I had no mood to throw it away or store it up in the fridge. Thats when I thought why not make it into something :)
I love capsicum and hence the thought of making a fried rice occured to me, and improvising as I started to cook it up, this new dish was born.
Recipe: Indo-Chinese fusion fried rice - with capsicum and potato.
Serves 2 people
Ingredients:
Cooked rice - 5 tbsp
Capsicum - 1 big, Diced
Potato - 1 big, diced
Onion - 1 big or 2 medium, diced
Kasuri methi - 1 pinch
Chilli Flakes - 1/2 tsp
Shahi Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
Tava Fry Masala (optional) - 1/4 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Jeera - 1/2 tsp
Green Chilli - 1/2 piece, slit into 4
Dark Soy Sauce: 1 tbsp
Salt: To taste
For Garnishing: 3 baby corn and 4 Cherry tomatoes
Cooking it up:
In a wok add the oil and once it heats add the Cumin and allow it to crackle. Once done add the Onion, green chillies and capsium and fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Ensure that the onions and capsicum are crispy and not cooked well. Cook the potato in the microwave for 2 minutes. Incase u don't have a microwave, boil it for 5 minutes till its cooked well, but ensure that your potatoes are not mashed.
Now add the potatoes to the wok and fry for another minute. Now add the Chilli flakes, kasuri methi, shahi Garam masala and Tava fry masala and salt and stir fry for another minute. Now add the Rice and fry for another couple of minutes. Now add the dark soy sauce and mix well allowing it to cook for another couple of minutes.
The irrestible aroma of your fried rice wants you to lick up the entire wok... but hold on, plating this dish is going to be more exciting. Since we have added chilli flakes, this dish is real hot, hence the choice of Baby corns and cherry tomatoes for garnishing.
Microwave the Baby corns for 45 secs and then slit them into two halves. Slit the cherry tomatoes into two halves as well and garnish the fried rice as shown :) You could also put your imagination to good use and deck it up with some sauted sweet green peas and sweet corn as well.
Serve it hot and don't forget to bite into the baby corn and cherry tomatoes when the heat of the red chilli flakes hit you :)
Hope you enjoy cooking and eating this dish as much as I did :)
