Fried Rice-Indian IStyle

Ever since I saw this ad of Bikaji bhujia where he adds the bhujia to each and everything , I've been wanting to try it out with rice. 

When I walked into the kitchen at 1 o' clock today, all I find is boiled rice and then it strikes me that Mom had told me to make some curry before she left for her Jumme Ki Namaz. This is when the remeberance of Bikaji's ad comes to my aid. Here's how I pulled it together.

Mustard Seeds                               1tsp

Asafoetida                                     a pinch

Finely Chopped Onion                 1

The Prestige

Heat Oil in a pan. Throw in the cloves, Cumin seeds, mustard seeds and asafoetida. When the seeds splutter add onion and saute for a minute. Then add green chillies. Well I prefer spicy food, so I added green chillies. You might just skip it or may want to add slit green chillies instead of chopped ones. Now add salt, turmeric and red chilli powder. Throw in the carrots and peas and cook covered on sim till done. Now add the boiled rice and mix well. Squeeze in some lime. Before serving mix in the boondi mixture. Transfer to a plate and top with some Sev. Serve with papad.
