CURRY FRIED RICE

Jasmine rice - 2 cups (Cooked and cooled)

Vegetables of your choice - 2 cups (I used capsicum, baby corn, onion, carrots, green peas)

Egg - 3

Extra firm Tofu - 1 packet cubed

Oriental Curry powder - 1 tbsp

Chilli garlic sauce - 1 tbsp (Increase or decrease according to your spice level)

Soy sauce - 2 tsp

Scallion- 1/2 sliced (green part)

Garlic - 2 clove (very finely chopped)

Thai chilli red color - 2 slitted(optional)

Salt as needed

Oil as needed (Don't use very little oil otherwise they will be sticky)
Thai Basil - few chopped for garnish

Method :

 

Note:

1. Try to use Jasmine rice for this recipe.

2. Cook the rice the day before you planned to make and refrigerate it.

3. The rice has to be cooked in the way that the grains are separate. Mushy or soft rice will spoil the taste of the fried rice.

4. The whole sauteing process takes only few minutes, don't do it for long as it makes the vegetable soggy. Maintaining the crunchiness and color of the vegetables is important.

5. Increase the quantity of curry powder and chilli garlic sauce according to your taste buds.

6. Be generous with oil while making, that means it need not be oily.  Too little oil will make the fried rice tasteless and ends up with sticky rice.

7. Instead of soy sauce you can also substitute mushroom flavored soy sauce to have slight umami flavor.

8. You can also use other vegetables like, broccoli, mushroom, bok choy, bean sprouts as well. 

9. The whole sauteing process has to be done in high flame but take care not to burn them.

Enjoy the delicious and flavorful one pot meal!!!!
