Instructions:
-
Prepare Rice:
- Cook white rice and brown rice separately as per the instructions on the packet. Alternatively, you can use leftover rice from the previous night.
-
-
Saute Onions:
- In a pan, heat some butter or margarine over medium heat.
- Add finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
-
Add Masala:
- Once the onions are caramelized, sprinkle masala over them and continue to sauté for a minute to release the flavors.
-
Cook Mixed Vegetables:
- Add your choice of mixed vegetables to the pan. You can use carrots, peas, bell peppers, or any other veggies you prefer.
- Pour in a little water to help the vegetables cook and prevent sticking.
-
Combine Rice and Vegetables:
- When the mixed vegetables are soft and cooked, add both the cooked white and brown rice to the pan.
- Season with salt according to your taste preference.
-
Simmer:
- Allow the rice and vegetables to simmer together for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb the spices.
-
Serve:
- Once the rice is heated through and flavorful, remove from heat.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish or main course. This spicy rice pairs perfectly with chicken, meat, or fish. You can also customize the flavor by experimenting with different types of masala.
Tips:
- To make this dish even more flavorful, you can add additional spices such as cumin, turmeric, or chili powder.
- For a vegan-friendly version, use plant-based margarine instead of butter.
- Feel free to customize this recipe by adding protein sources like tofu, chickpeas, or paneer.
- Leftover spicy rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
