Fundooo Fried Rice

I'd earlier posted a recipe of Sweet Cardamom Rice that used leftover rice. Here is the salty version of the leftover rice.


Pre-Preparation


The best way is to use the leftover plain white rice from the earlier meal that you don't want to throw. :) Crush the rice with hands to remove any lumps. If you want to use fresh rice, cook rice separately in an open container or in the microwave. For one bowl of rice, add two bowls of water and a little oil. Put in the microwave for 17-18 mins. I use Pure Basmati Rice that is the best for Fried Rice/Biryani.


Ingredients
  • Basmati Rice - 1 Bowl
  • Pure Ghee - 2 TSP
  • Chopped Onion - 1 Small
  • Cumin Seeds - 1/2 TSP (Jeera)
  • Brown Cardamom - 2 (Crushed)
  • Cumin Powder - 1/4 TSP (Jeera)
  • Cardamom Powder (Elaichi) - Crushed cardamom is also OK to have - 1/2 TSP
  • Raisins - (Kishmish / Saungi) - 10-15
  • Turmeric(Haldi) Powder - 1/2 TSP
  • Dhaniya Leaves - Small Bunch, Chopped
  • Chilli Powder 1/4 TSP
  • Salt - To taste
Procedure


Chop onions into thin long slices of appx 1" size. Chop the Green Chillies into small finely.


Heat Ghee in a non stick frying pan. Add Cumin seeds and let them crackle for a couple seconds. Add onions and chillies and sauté them until onions turn light yellow. Add Brown Cardamom (Large Cardamom/ Elaichi ) and golden raisins and sauté them for a few seconds.


Add the cooked rice and mix well to make a homogeneous mixture.


Add Turmeric Powder, Chilly Powder, Cumin Powder, and Salt. Mix well. Make sure not to leave any lumps.


Let the mixture cook for a while. Before serving, garnish the rice with chopped Coriander leaves.


Serve Hot!
