Fried Rice is our family favourite……Hubby can have fried rice even daily…yes he is crazy after fried rice and his staple order in restaurants will be egg / veg fried rice. Mittu loves any fried rice so its one of the ways I sneak in all the veggies. When I pack fried rice for mittus lunchbox I skip the sauces and make it simple more with indian flavours so wanted to post this easy fried rice recipe.I usually cut all the veggies the previous night itself while watching TV so making fried rice becomes easy for me…..I don’t watch serials much but this serial uyirmei on Zee Tamil has got me addicted for a while now so am regularly watching it ….apart from that I watch Office serial on and off.
Don’t have any fancy sauces at home then this fried rice is apt for you to try.

Sweet Corn Fried Rice Recipe – Ingredients

Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Basmati Rice – 1 cup
Sweet Corn Kernels – 1/2 cup
Carrot – 2 small finely chopped
Cabbage – 1/4 cup chopped finely chopped
Garlic – 1 tbsp finely chopped
Green Chilli – 1/2 tsp finely minced
Capsicum – 1/4 cup chopped finely
Soya sauce – 1/8 tsp
Pepper powder – 1 tsp
Olive Oil – 1 tbsp + 1 tsp
Sugar – 1/2 tsp
Salt – to taste
Method:
- 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 in a plate and fluff it up with a fork add a tsp of oil and let it cool down.In a pan heat oil – add garlic, green chillies,garlic – saute for a minute till it turns slightly browned.Then Then add carrot and cabbage in medium high flame, fry till the veggies shrink and raw smell leaves.
- Then add capsicum and saute for a minute then add sweet corn along with pepper powder and required salt.Stir well in medium high flame.
- Add cooked rice and give a quick stir.Then add sugar and give a quick stir.Switch off.
Serve hot with your choice of side dish or any manchurian.
My Notes:
- You can even add spring onions.
- You can also add 2 tbsp onion while sauteing the veggies.
- If you prefer add 1/4 tsp soya sauce.
- 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.
- Make sure to fluff the rice and spread it with little olive oil to make the grains separate.Allow it to rest atleast for 30mins.
So easy to cook. Perfect for sweet corn lovers like me..
Hi Sharmiss,
I must say you are really a good cook. Even a simple dish did not loose colour and texture, for example this rice doesn't look pressure-cooked and capsicum has crisp texture. I feel like eating a lunch at your home. 😉
Happy blogging!
yummy and delicious fried rice…

Can I use regular corn instead of sweet corn
Yes you can try….
Hi mam ur sweet corn recipe is good plse tell me instead of soya sauce wat we can add if we skip soya sauce the taste will differ na
I dont know substitutes for soya sauce, yes skipping that will sure lack fried rice taste
Can I use corn rice ? It is a corn in rice form, will it affect the taste? Have tried using it?
I haven't tried/tasted corn rice so not really sure of the taste…..

Cooked corn should be added
