Colorful veg fried rice

Hi Readers,

This is yet another variation that I experimented last weekend. This turned out to be a successful experiment and my husband liked it. It was awesome feeling to watch him take turns to eat when I make something interesting. I usually do not judge food by myself and do not rely on the compliments, but instead try to find out the expression of someone who is having it.

Well, I just tried this one with lots of vegetables like cauliflower, beans, carrots and beetroot. Here is the recipe below, try this and share your valuable feedback.

Ingredients :- 250 gm rice ( preferably Basmati) cooked
 1 small cauliflower chopped into small peices
2 carrots roughly chopped
100 gm beans chopped
1 big onion chopped to form rings
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 cinnamon stick
1 cardamom
1 star anise
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp oil
1 small beetroot chopped finely

Method :- Stir fry chopped cauliflower, beans and carrots and keep aside. Stir fry beetroot, do not mix beetroot with other vegetables and keep separately. Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, star anise, cinnamon and cardamom. Then add the onion rings and fry till they turn pink. Add ginger garlic paste and cook till its strong smell is gone. Add cooked rice, vegetables, salt and mix well. Cook for 3 mins and serve hot.
