Pickle Rice

Here i am with the entry for Trupti's "Spring Fling 2007-with Family and Friends in the Kitchen."

This is my hubby's invention(i can say):-D



When trupti announced this event i thought of this dish and told my hubby for sure i am going to send this one .He said ok..but taken so long time to prepare....:-D
On weekends we will finish our lunch early and will go to shopping.One sunday i want to make a simple fried rice.I cut all the veggies and kept to cook.Then my hubby entered the kitchen and told that i will finish it.I came out and doing my kid's work.My hubby finished the dish and we sat to take lunch.When i tasted it it is different from fried rice.i asked him what u added?He told me the following recipe.....and from then if i want to taste it he will only make this for me.

Ingredients:
Cooked rice........2 cups
French beans......10
Cauliflower..........10 small florets
Carrot..................1 small
Capsicum.............small one
Onion...................medium one
Ginger-Garlic paste.....1 tsp
Salt.....as required
Tomato pickle..........1 tbsp
Red chilly pickle................1 tbsp
Curry leaves..............1 stalk
Cumin seeds..............1 tsp

Method:

• Chop all the veggies length wise just like for fried rice.
• Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wide pan and add cumin seeds.when they crackle add curry leaves and ginger garlic paste.
• When the ginger garlic paste fried enough add the chopped onion.
• When they turned golden brown add the chopped veggies.
• Cover and cook for some time.Add salt.
• When they all cooked well add the pickles.Mix well with the veggies.
• Now take off from the stove and add the cooked rice.

Serve hot as it is..or else u can try this with curd.
TIP:

1. Here we used tomato pickle and red chilly pickle because for the first time when i tasted this my hubby had used them only.That is why i am using them only .U can use any other pickles u like.
2. Add fresh chopped baby corn also.It will give u a better taste.

This is also my entry for Sushma's Monthly cooking tipology.
