Ingredients
6 cups boiled Basmati rice
1 cup chicken (boiled and shredded)
1/2 cup prawns cooked (if desired, for additional flavour)
1 egg
1/4 cup capsicum cut into fine strips
1 cup regular onion, chopped fine
1 cup spring onions, chopped fine
2 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste(or to taste)
1 cup of mixed vegetables, i.e. carrots, french beans, cabbage- chopped fine
soya sauce
chilli sauce
Method
- Make sure the rice isn't overcooked or mushy.
- Add a little oil when boiling so that it doesn't stick together.
- Fry the regular onions till light brown.
- Add ginger-garlic paste and fry.
- Add the rice and fry with soya sauce to taste.
- You can add a little chilli sauce if you want.
- Separately, lightly fry the pre-cooked meats (chicken and prawns) with a little soya sauce.
- Beat the egg thoroughly and fry separately, stirring constantly. Add to the rice.
- Separately, lightly fry each vegetable (except the regular onions) and keep aside. Do not over fry or the vegetables will become soggy. They should remain slightly crisp.
- Add the meats and vegetables to the rice and mix thoroughly.
- Your delicious meal is ready.
Tip: If you find the quantities too much to work with at the same time, and you probably will, divide the rice into a manageable number of parts, say 6 parts. And then divide each of the other ingredients (i.e. the meats and vegetables) also into six. So you can fry the rice better and mixing becomes much easier with one part of each.
