Well, well, before Mexico and Thailand declare war on India for my above post, let me confess that i just wanted to give my dish a dhansoo name. And yeah i know it's been long time my hands were itching to prepare something and also share here.
Today we were bored to prepare chapathi and other dish. So I googled a bit for a rice recipe. I read some and as one would imagine, what could finally come up be something different to give you comfort of naming it the way you like.
So lets see how Mexican shallow fried vegetables rice in Thai curry is prepared.
Ingredients:
2 Big onion
Garlic cloves - 10-12
Ginger
Red chilly pepper
Red chillies
Grated coconut
Vegetables (I took cucumber, cabbage, carrot, peas, corn, capsicum etc)
Method:
I do not like to boil certain vegetables, such as cucumber and capsicum. I think they leave a pungent odor if they are boiled. And in any case since the name of our recipe is shallow fried, i stir shallow fried cucumber and capsicum by pouring very little oil in a flat tawa and cooking them in high flame. They looked like this.
In a large kadhai pour oil, fry onion for some time before you add the above paste.
Add boiled vegetables after say 4-5 minutes.
After frying all for another 3-5 mins, add boiled rice. The rice has to boil around 80% and drain it in a strainer without stirring it so as not to break / mash the rice. Stir it carefully in the fried vegetables. One tip from my wife in this case. Allow the rice to cool down before you add in the bowl so that you do not crush it. (ಗಿಜಗುಳಿಕಿ!)
As finishing touch, add lemon and some grated cheese.
Finally add shallow fried capsicum and cucumber.
Prepare tomato gravy with tomato puree put in garlic tadka as side for this rice. Serve hot.
My rice tasted too well except for the fact that it was bit more pasty than flaky.
Now please do not ask me why Mexico and Thailand came in this dish. Socha tho kehdiya, main thodina koi Harpal Sanjeev Dalal hoon?

Chopped onion long like this:
Meanwhile, i had soaked rice for half an hour and boiled it in the open container with lots of water in it.
The key ingredient in this whole rice saga is the following. I took 4 red chillies, garlic cloves, ginger little onion and little grated coconut. Ground them in a thick paste.

Looks interesting!!
ReplyDeleteTip on "My rice was bit more pasty than flaky" - keep the rice in the fridge for an hour or so before stirring it in. The rice stays flaky that way :)
I'll try it for sure. I'm in fact fond of rice and vegetables.
ReplyDeleteYet, I'm not sure you did all these things.
Eng.Vinay cut, fried, boiled, even chopped onions..... actually impossible :)
