Ingredients

  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1 and 1/2 cups water
  • 8 nos baby corn
  • 1/4 cup carrot chopped lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon garlic finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon spring onions white part finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon spring onions green part finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup capsicum chopped lengthwise - I used colored ones
  • 1/8 teaspoon soya sauce
  • 1 teaspoon pepper powder freshly cracked
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • 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 two vertically.
  • Further slit into two, 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 and then pressure cook for 3 whistles in medium flame in the ratio 1 (rice) :1.5 (water) cups.
  • Spread the rice and fluff it up with a fork add a teaspoon 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 – sauté for a minute till it turns slightly browned.
  • Add carrot and sauté for 2mins.
  • Then add baby corn, capsicum and sauté for a minute.
  • Add soya sauce, required salt and pepper powder. Sauté 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 Baby Corn Fried Rice hot with your choice of side dish or any Manchurian.

Notes

  • You can also add 2 tablespoon 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 at least for 15mins.
