How to Make Fish fried rice with veggies

• Add rice and fry again for a minute.
• Add water, 1/2 tsp salt and cook rice till it is fully done.

• Lower the heat to medium.
• Place the pieces of fish in the steamer basket and lower the basket into the steamer.
• Cover and steam till the fish turns opaque; do not overcook.
• Remove and allow the fish to cool.
• If you do not have a steamer basket, do this whole process in a normal pan, but make sure NOT to add a large amount of water since it doesn't take long for the fish to cook.
• Add the coriander leaves, 2 green chillies, 1 tsp ginger garlic paste and grated coconut in a blender and make a thick paste adding 1 tbsp water.
• Boil the peas; do not overcook, it should retain its green colour.
