Masala Rice

My favourite way of using the leftover rice for a quick and easy and ofcourse tasty lunch.

This rice is made in different ways.

It is called by various names too!

But the end product is somewhat quite similar!

Whenever I make plain rice for dinner, it has to remain!

For I purposely make some extra so I can make masala rice the next day!

What I do to make this Rice is-

Slice an Onion

Slit a couple of green chillies lengthwise

Chop a handful of coriander leaves

Slice a capsicum, if I have one

Heat oil in a pan.

Splutter 1/2 tsp Mustard seeds.

Add 1/4 tsp Hing, 1/4 tsp Turmeric, a few Curry Leaves and the slit Green Chillies.

Then drop in the sliced Onion.

Let it turn pink.

Then put the sliced capsicum.

Add salt.

Saute for around 3-4 minutes.

Then add 2 cups of cooked rice.

Mix well.

Saute for another 5 minutes.

Garnish it with coriander leaves.

Sprinkle juice of half a lime for a tangy taste.

Serve hot with pickle or curd.

It tastes great!
