LETS PREPARE SOMETHING EASY :)

OMLETTE FRIED RICE:


INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups rice
  • 1 cube - maggi chicken
  • 1/2 - onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp - ginger, garlic
  • green chilli paste
  • 1 - carrot, diced small
  • 10 - french beans, thoroughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup - frozen
  • 1/4 - capsicum, chopped
  • 1 tsp - soy sauce oil as required
  • salt to taste

METHOD:

  • Boil rice in 1 3/4 cup water along with the chicken cube and salt.
  • In a hot skillet, pour oil and make 2 thin omlettes seasoned with salt and pepper.
  • After removing the omlettes add more oil and saute onions.
  • Add ginger,garlic,green chilli paste and cook till raw smell leaves.
  • Add the chopped vegetables and fry till they are done.
  • Mix in the frozen peas and season the vegetables with salt.
  • Switch off the flame and give a dash of soy sauce.
  • Cut omlette into thin strips and blend with the veggie mix.
  • Combine rice and vegetables.
  • serve hot.



IDLI:



INGREDIENTS:

  • urad powder 1 cup

  • rice flour 1 cup

  • idli rava 1 cup

  • salt to taste

  • pinch of rapid rise yeast

  • water to mix

METHOD:

  • Mix all the above ingredients without lumps to a thick pouring consistency. Let sit overnight.

  • Next morning use the batter in exactly the same way regular idli batter is used.

  • If the batter is too thick add a little water to bring it a thick pouring consistency.

  • Grease the idli moulds and spoon the batter into them.

  • Heat water in the idli cooker.

  • Steam cook for about 12-15 mins on high.

  • Take out from the fire and let it cool for a while and then remove the idlis from the moulds.

  • Serve hot with chutney, sambar or both.

  • This makes about 12 idlis. It is a fantastic method as it involves no soaking and no grinding.

  • The fermented batter may smell of yeast but once cooked there is no smell at all.
