Instructions

How to make Veg Fried Rice - Step by Step recipe

  • Soak the rice grains for about 10-15 minutes beforehand.
  • Wash the rice properly and put it onto boiling water.
  • Gently stir the rice often to check so that it should not be over cooked or mushy soft.
  • The rice should be 85-90% done. Strain the rice and spread it out to dry.
  • Meanwhile cut the veggies into whichever shape you like. You can grate them also.
  • Take a pan and pour some ghee in it. Add bay leaves, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, cashews and raisins. Fry those a little bit. Keep them aside

Notes

  • Make sure you use long grained rice for this veg fried rice recipe. Long rice grains not only enhance the taste but also make it look more appealing along with the colorful veggies.
  • Do not overcook the rice, otherwise the recipe will not turn out good.
  • Check continuously while cooking rice whether it is done or not.
  • You can add some green chillies to this recipe if you like it as some spicy.
  • If you don't like so much ghee, you can replace the same with any kind of Vegetable or Refined oil. But do add some ghee in the last. The aroma of ghee completes the veg fried rice recipe.
