Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked basmati rice
- 1 small Onion finely sliced
- 1 tsp Ginger and garlic minced
- 1/2 - 1 tsp Chilli powder
- 1 tsp Coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp Garam masala
- 1/2 tsp Meat masala refer notes
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 cup Cooked vegetables I used carrot and beans
- 1 tbsp Coriander and mint leaves each, chopped
- Salt
- Ghee / oil I used sunflower oil
Instructions
- Heat ghee/oil in a deep bottom pan. Add finely sliced onions. When it turns golden brown, add minced ginger and garlic. Cook for a few mins. Add the masala powders and cook till the oil appears. Add lemon juice and salt and mix it. Add cooked veggies and mix. Add cooked rice and combine gently. Garnish with the chopped coriander and mint leaves.
- You can also garnish with fried onions and cashews. Serve with raita, pickle and pappad.
Notes
Meat masala wasnt used in the original recipe, but I recommend using it. If you are making it for some special occasion, I recommend using ghee. You can also use white rice like sona masuri also to make this, but the flavour will be more with Basmati. I microwaved the chopped veggies with 1-2 tbsp of water for 3 mins. You can use any veggies of your choice. To make a non veg version, you can add cooked chicken/beef/mutton along with the veggies and continue the same procedure.
