Baby Corn Fried Rice – Ingredients

Preparation Time : 20 mins | Cooking Time : 15 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: Indian

Basmati Rice – 1 cup
Water – 1 and 1/2 cups
Baby Corn – 8
Carrot – 1/4 cup chopped lengthwise
Garlic – 1 tbsp finely chopped
Spring onions (white part) – 1 tsp finely chopped
Spring onions (green part) – 1 tbsp finely chopped
Capsicum – 1/3 cup chopped lengthwise(I used colored ones)
Soya sauce – 1/8 tsp
Pepper powder – 1 tsp(freshly cracked)
Olive Oil – 1 tbsp + 1 tsp
Sugar – 1/2 tsp
Salt – to taste

Method:

Boil water with a tiny pinch of turmeric powder and salt.Add baby corn and parboil it.Just cook for 5mins.Drain, trim both the edges and slit it into 2 vertically.
Further slit into 2 , this is optional as my baby corns were fat I did this.Chop into small finger size pieces, collect in a bowl.
Soak basmati rice for 30mins then pressure cook for 3 whistles in medium flame in the ratio 1(rice):1.5(water) cups.Spread it and fluff it up with a fork add a tsp of oil and let it cool down.Chop the veggies and get ready with it.
In a pan heat oil – add garlic, and spring onions white part – saute for a minute till it turns slightly browned.Then Then add carrot saute for 2mins.Then add baby corn,capsicum and saute for a minute
Add soya sauce,required salt and pepper powder.Saute the veggies in high flame.
Add spring onion green and give a quick stir.Add cooked rice, a pinch of sugar and give a quick stir.Switch off.

Serve hot with your choice of side dish or any manchurian.

My Notes:

You can also add 2 tbsp onion while sauteing the veggies.
Use freshly ground pepper for a great flavour.
Sauteing the veggies in high flame gives a nice smoky flavour and also retains its crunchiness without the raw smell.
I soaked basmati rice for 30 mins then pressure cooked for 1:1.5 ratio(rice:water) for 3 whistles in medium low flame.It depends on your cooker and basmati rice variety too.
Make sure to fluff the rice and spread it with little olive oil to make the grains separate.Allow it to rest atleast for 15mins.
