Expert Tips

• You can even use leftover rice for this recipe but I prefer basmati rice for all my fried rice recipes.
• I soaked basmati rice for 15 mins then pressure cooked for 1:2 ratio(rice:water) for 3 whistles in medium low flame.
• Use freshly ground pepper for a great flavour.
• If you prefer add 1/8 tsp soya sauce.
• Sauteing the veggies in high flame gives a nice smoky flavour and also helps retain its crunchiness without the raw smell.
• Cook rice perfectly not too mushy or undercook it.It should be soft yet grains seperated this can be attained easily by soaking rice then pressure cooking.
• You can use the pot method for cooking rice but the rice grains easily break so I prefer pressure cooking method.Also in pot method all the flavour of basmati rice goes along with the drained water itself so we should be very careful to cook it with required water.
• Make sure to toss the fried rice in oil to avoid sticking.Also let it cool for a while then add it.
• If you dont have schezwan sauce in hand, for a instant version add red chillies, ginger and garlic along with little water and grind it to a fine paste.Along with garlic and spring onions add this paste and saute till raw smell leaves.
