Fried rice is a very popular easy dish where veggies are tossed along with sauces and later mixed with rice. This recipe is very unique. I have used purple cabbage as a main ingredient along with some other veggies. Cabbage has a lot of health benefits. Try to include them whenever possible.
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups Precooked and cooled Kodo millet
- 1.5 Cups Shredded Purple Cabbage
- 1 Cup Mixed Veggies (Carrots, Corn, Peas, Beans)
- 1/2 Cup Chopped Onions
- 2 Tbsp Oil
- 1 each (Bay Leaf, Star Anis)
- 2 each (Cinnamon, Cardamom)
- 1/2 Tsp Jeera
- 1 Tsp Ginger Garlic Paste
- 1.25 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Vinegar
- 1/2 Tsp Pepper Powder
- 1/2 Tsp each (tomato sauce, chilli sauce)
- 1 Slit Green Chilli
Directions:
- Heat a pan and add oil. Add the whole spices (bay leaf, cinnamon, star anis, cardamom, jeera) and sauté for a minute. Add onions and sauté for 30 seconds. Add mix veggies, green chilli, vinegar, pepper powder and sauté for a minute.
- Add purple cabbage, salt and cook for few minutes by covering the pan. The veggies should cook in such a way that they retain their crunchiness. This may take 3 minutes approximately.
- Once done, add tomato, chilli sauce and sauté for a minute. Finally add the precooked and cooled millet and mix everything well on low heat for 3 minutes.
- Serve with raita or dal fry.
Note:
- Other millets like Foxtail, Little or Barnyard can be used for this recipe.
- Lemon Juice can be added instead of vinegar.
