Saturday Night Special Dinner - Not so difficult to do!!!

It has been quite sometime since I tried a special recipe.So here I go. Tonight special is yummy veggie fried rice/pulao (name doesn't matter)!!! I enjoyed it soo much that I wanted to share it.

1. Soak 1 and 1/2 cups basmathi rice for 10 minutes. Strain it. Add 2 and 3/4 cups water and cook in microwave for 17 minutes. Take it out, allow to cool.

2. Cut beans, carrots, red pepper, green pepper into small pieces or as per convenience. Mix peas and corn pellets along with the other veggies. Add water, little bit salt, garam masala powder and microwave for 12 minutes. Strain it.

3. Cut onions into small pieces. Add oil in a cooking vessel, add Jeera (cumin seeds) for tadka. Add the onions and fry them.

4. Add garam masala, salt and turmeric powder. Add the boiled vegetables and mix well. Allow it to cook for five minutes for the flavor to set into the veggies.

5. To the above, add the cooked rice, mix well and allow it to cook for five more minutes. Add chopped coriander leaves finally and mix well.

Dinner is now ready to be served :-)) Make onion raita to go with it. Just had both and we loved it.
