Vegetable Fried Rice

    As i told in this post, i don't like fried rice recipe due to its bland taste. Till date i never ever ordered in any hotels. But at the same time if its is home made rice, i will gobble even half the prepared quantity. Contradictory is it !? Yes, even am searching for my carving behind this. Fine, coming to this post, even though i have prepared this recipe plenty of time, when i was searching this recipe in my space, i couldn't find it. I don't how i missed it. So, finally now its for your views.

ALL YOU NEED:

Basmathi Rice	2 cups
Mixed vegetables	1 1/2 cup
Chopped Garlic	7 Cloves
Chopped Onion	1 No.
Diced Capsicum	1/2 cup
Spring Onion	1/4 cup
Pepper Powder	1/2 tsp
Olive Oil	2 spoons
Salt	To Taste

METHOD:
    Soak basmathi rice for 10 mins and bring it boil by adding a drop of olive oil and salt. Once it gets cooked well. Drain the excess water and let it cool for a while. Now take a wide pan, heat a spoon of oil, now add chopped garlic and chopped onion, saute it y adding pinch of salt. Once done add the mixed veggies (I used carrot, cabbage and beans). Saute well until it gets cooked. When it is half cooked add pepper powder and mix well. Now add cooked basmathi rice, saute it gently without breaking the shape. As a final touch, add diced capsicum and spring onions. Saute again by adjusting with salt. Serve hot with tomato ketchup.

     Bring 1 cup of noodles to boil by adding some cups of water and pinch of olive oil. Once done, strain it and keep it aside. Take a wide pan, add a spoon of oil, add 3 eggs and scramble it along with pinch of salt and pepper. Once done, transfer it to a plate. Now again add a spoon of oil in the same pan, add diced onion, chopped garlic once done, add chopped carrot and do sauting it with salt and pepper powder. Once done add scrambled egg and give a soft stir. Now add the capsicum, just toss it for a while.
