Dear Dev, I am posting the recipe for the fried rice.
Nothing much new, just as you have posted. So do not be disappointed.
Thanks, Kugan


RESTAURANT FRIED RICE

Ingredients:

2 tbs oil
2 pips of garlic chopped
1 tbs chopped white of the spring onion
1 to 2 tbs light soy sauce
1 cup of chopped vegetables (carrots, french beans, cabbage etc )
2 cups of cooked rice (refrigerated )
Pepper powder to taste
Salt to taste
1 tsp vinegar
1 tbs chopped green spring onion leaves
1 tsp sesame oil (optional )

Method

In a non-stick pan heat the oil.
Add in the chopped garlic, raise the heat, use your spatula and smash the garlic pieces.
This will give out a good aroma, add in the white of the spring onions.
Stir fry again well, add in the soy sauce and mix well. The pan will be smoky.
This will give the smoky smell, add in the vegetables and stir fry well.

The veges should not be over cooked, add in the cold cooked rice.
Add in the pepper powder , vinegar and salt, give ever thing a very good stir.
Now add in the onion green and the sesame oil if used.
Stir fry on high heat and remove. Garnish with cut salad leaves.

NOTES: use cooked rice that is refrigerated overnight .
This helps to prevent the rice from breaking as well as sticking together.

You can add in any veges of your choice.





Can you see the bird's eye chillie?

Kuganji..

sesame rice / எள்ளு சாதம் is available as prasadam in many Perumal temples on purattasi saturdays.
Its an offering to Devi on navarathri saturdays by my mom.

K, I've had ellu saadham from our college canteen during my UG days... I used to hate it as it will have a slightly bitter taste...but on days we go late to the canteen, we'll get only this ellu saadham... guess it was on the hate list of many...adhaan kadaisiya ponaalum ellu saadham irukkum... Anyway, if ur aunt gives a recipe, it should be good... so try senju paarunga... canteen cooks are mostly ok-ok cooks,.adhanaal namma avanga senjadhai saapititu mudivukku vara koodathu...
