Fried Rice with Noodles

This is a rice that I prepare for Sriram. He calls it Maggi Rice.

Ingredients:

Noodles -- 1 cup
Rice -- 3 cups (prefer Basmati)
Cluster Beans -- 10
Thinly sliced Carrot -- 1/2 cup
Thinly sliced Cabbage -- 1 cup
Cauliflower -- 1 cup
spring onions -- 1/2 cup
capsicum -- 1/4 cup
frozen peas -- 1/4 cup
azinamoto salt -- 1/2 tbsp
soya sauce -- 1/4 tbsp
vinegar -- 1/4 tbsp
Salt -- according to taste
Allam mirchi paste -- 1 to 2 tbsp (based on req spice, add more will make the rice spicy)
tomato ketchup -- 1/4 cup (want more sweet, then add 1/2 cup)

How to Prepare:

  • Boil the carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, capsicum and beans and keep them aside. While boiling can add little salt for taste.
  • Cook the rice and keep it aside. Soak the rice for atleast 15 minutes before cooking and add a drop of oil when cooking.
  • Boil 1 and 1/2 cup of water. To this water you can add 1/4 tbsp maggi taste maker if available.
  • Add the noodles to this water. let the noodles boil for 5 minutes in low flame.
  • Remove any excess water from this.
  • Add the spring onions, frozen peas and boiled vegetables to the noodles.
  • Add little butter or ghee.( according to taste)
  • Add azinamoto and salt and then start adding the rice slowly and keep mixing in between in low flame.
  • now add the tomato ketchup and switch of the flame.

Kids will like it like this.

  • Now, add the allam mirchi paste to this rice and close the lid.

This rice has to be taken little hot. Whe taken hot, it does not require any side dish. Tomato, onion salad will definetely taste good with this.
