Quick Mixed Veggie Rice

What do you do when you are lazy and don’t feel like cooking?
Those days when you are tired from work and don’t feel like eating out and you want to eat something healthy?

I picked up a packet of Mixed Vegetables and started making this quick dish with left over rice. Good that we get pre-packaged veggies here in this country and no hassle of cutting veggies when you don’t feel like.

Sprinkle some water on the rice and heat in the microwave. This way the grains will be separated.

You need…

2 cups of mixed vegetables (add potato, green peppers or cauliflower)
1 onion, medium, chopped
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
2 tbsp chilli powder
2 tbsp oil

1/2 tbsp garam masala
few green chillies (optional)
shahjeera (optional)
a pinch of turmeric
few springs of pudina/mint
coriander for garnishing
Salt to taste

1. Heat oil in a cooking pan.


2. Add chopped onion, shahjeera and try them until brown.


3. Add green chilies, ginger garlic paste, pudina and try them until the raw smell goes.


4. Add mixed vegetables and stir fry them for 5 mins.


5. Add turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala and mix all together for a minute.


6. Finally add rice and mix the whole thing well until the masala coats the rice.

Garnish with coriander and lemon wedges and serve hot with yogurt.

Ready to eat in less than 20 mins.
