Pictorial Directions for Fried rice – Street Food style
- Soak the Basmati rice and cook them until done. I have not pressure cooked the rice instead cooked in boiling water so that the texture can be checked and stopped at exact point in time. Bring a bowl of water to rolling boil and put in the soaked basmati rice into it along with salt and a tsp of oil. Oil is added to avoid making it sticky. Filter and spread the rice in a plate to cool in completely before tossing with vegetables. It is important step to cool it down completely or else it becomes sticky and gets mashed when you mix it.

Cool it down - Heat oil, crackle cumin seeds, throw in chopped onions, ginger and garlic. saute until onions are pink. Need not fry the onions till brown.
