Meal in One - Rice

Easy, Flexible Recipe
An easy way to make a meal out of left-over rice. If you don't have any leftover rice, make some afresh!

Ingredients
2 cup cooked  rice
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1 onion sliced
1 tomato chopped
1 cup mixed vegetables chopped
1 pinch garam masala powder
1 tbs coriander leaves chopped
oil, butter, turmeric powder, red chilly powder, pepper, salt, water
(readily found in most kitchens, including mine)

Method

1. Pour  2 cups boiling water into the rice. After a minute,  drain & discard the water. Mix  1 tsp oil  in the rice and set it aside. (If the rice is freshly made, skip this step) 
2. Heat oil in a pan, put in the onion & fry. Add ginger-garlic paste.
3. Add vegetables, turmeric and tomato. Stir-fry for 2 minutes on high heat, sprinkling water to keep it moist. Simmer till the vegetables are cooked (5-6 minutes depending on the vegetables).
4. Put in the rice along with chilly powder, pepper, salt and butter to taste. Give it a good stir. 
5. Cover and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with garam masala and coriander leaves.
