Simple Fried Rice

The traditional Chinese version of fried rice contains egg, that is the base. Also they use 'one day old cooked white rice'. Yep, you heard it right! But here, I jotted down a simple yet authentic Chinese Veg Fried Rice(of course with egg but not with one-day old rice :-) ). The ones, who cannot consume egg, can very well skip point number 3 and instead can add capsicum, works just fine.
Simple Fried Rice
Ingredients:
1)Cooked long grain rice - 1 cup(should be grainy, less water please)
2)Egg - 2 nos
3)Carrot - 1 (medium, chopped)
4)Beans - 7 (chopped)
5)Green Chilli - 1 (chopped)
6)Regular Onion(Spring Onion works well too) - 1 (chopped)
7)Garlic - 3 pods(chopped)
8)Pepper powder - as per your taste
9)Soy Sauce(light) - 1 tsp
10)Salt - to taste
11)Oil - 2 tsp
Simple Fried Rice
Preparation:
1)Heat 1 tsp of oil in a frying pan and add chopped green chilli, garlic, onion and salt. Saute until onion turns translucent.
2)Now add the chopped veggies and saute until they are cooked 90%(Yes, for any fried rice - the veggies should not be cooked 100%, otherwise it loses the crunchiness). Keep aside.
3)Heat 1 tsp of oil and add eggs, scramble them.( Even eggs should only be cooked 90%)
4)Add the sauteed veggies into the pan and mix well. Add salt and pepper to the mixture and stir well.
5)Add the cooked rice and mix well.
6)Add 1 tsp of soy sauce and stir well.

Your authentic Chinese fried rice is ready to be devoured!

    Lovely and delicious fried rice. Adding soy sauce will give a nice fragrant to the rice.

    The eggs are a must for us. Am not sure why but for me, eggs cannot be separated when its fried rice. I tend to use leftover rice mostly. Simple flavors but its a welcomed as a meal for me.

      Indeed, eggs rule most of my dishes too!
      Actually left over rice is a good idea, than the one day old rice.

Simple Palak Dal (Spinach Dal Recipe)

Palak Dal is one of the simplest of recipes, at the same time very rich and healthy too. It works very well with both rice and roti. It is a welcome change to the mundane Dal Fry for sure. Not many add tomatoes to this Dal, but I did - because I like the mild sourness it brings to the Dal. Ingredients : 1)Toor Dal - 1/2 cup 2)Spinach - 1 bunch(chopped, I used the stem as well) 3)Green Chilli - 1(slit) 4)Small Onions or shallots - 4(chopped or slit or whole) 5)Tomato - 1(small, chopped) 6)Whole Red chilli - 2 7)Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp 8)Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp 9)Asafetida - 1 pinch 10)Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp 11)Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp(optional) 12)Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp 13)Oil - 1 tsp 14)Ghee - 1/2 tsp Preparation : 1)Soak Toor Dal for 30 minutes in water. 2)In a pressure cooker, add soaked toor dal with enough water, turmeric powder, asafetida, salt, slit green chilli, shallots and tomatoes. Cook for 4 whistles. 3)Heat oil in a frying pan, add cumin, mustard seeds and...

RIP 'Google Reader' and what next?

We all know ' Google Reader ' would shut it's service down on the 1st of July this year. If you are not aware, then try logging into Reader, you get a popup reminder like the one shown in the picture below. There are so many people, who logs into Reader as the first thing in the morning than logging into their own blogs, for them this shut down means letting go of a helping hand. And the worst thing is, there are umpteen number of alternatives available in the market for free, so which one to choose? To be honest with you, there are pluses and minuses in each and every product. But there are 2 Reader alternatives which come close to Google Reader and that is Feedly and Digg ! I'm somehow inclined to try  Feedly , so here I have jotted down some basic information to get started. If you already are using some other alternative, good for you! - You don't have to read further, coz this post is only about Feedly! Ok, So why do you think Google is shutting down the Reade...

What NOT to do with Social Media!

“What happens in 'Vegas' stays in 'Vegas'; what happens on 'Twitter' stays on 'Google' forever!” -  Jure Klepic Ever heard this quote before? Although, the quote is sarcastic, isn't it scary? For the past one week, we have been hearing news about NSA( National Security Agency ), PRISM( A Govt. program, where corporates are supposed to provide user's data shared in social media and call records to Govt. ) & several other Govt. agencies gathering personal data out of social media et al. Here comes the question: Why do NSA or Govt. spy on our personal information? What do they achieve, by doing this? A brief overview -> According to me, Govt. and the National Security agencies have always spied on the shared information available online. Only now, we are getting to know that our data is being monitored, thanks to a Whistle Blower named " Edward Snowden ". Why is this freaking people out?  Mainly because of over-sharing of personal ...
