Egg Masala Rice

-

Egg and rice is  a great combination, at least from my point of view. So the other day for dinner I wanted to make something that was easy and quick and didnot need me to do a lot of chopping and cutting.
So I decided to go with a egg fired rice but with a twist and it ended up with this recipe and its good :)
Ingredients:

  1. Eggs - 4
  2. Rice- 2 cup cooked
  3. Onion- 1 large finely chopped
  4. Tomato - 2 chopped
  5. Green chilly- 2
  6. Turmeric pwd- ¼ tsp
  7. Red chilly pwd- 1 tbsp
  8. Ginger garlic paste- 1 tbsp
  9. Mint Leaves: 2 tbsp chopped
  10. Biryani Masala: 1 tsp
  11. Oil - 3 tbsp
  12. Garam masala pwd- ½ tbsp
  13. Coriander leaves - handful
  14. Salt to taste

Procedure:
Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.
Heat oil in a fry pan, add onion, green chilly with a pinch of salt and let it cook till onions are translucent.
Add the chopped tomato and toss it, cover and cook.
Once the tomatoes are cooked, add turmeric pwd, red chilly pwd, ginger garlic paste, garam masala pwd and salt.
Cook till it turns to thick curry and oil separates.
Add the chopped mint leaves and mix well.
Add ¼ tb water  and allow to cook for 5 mins.
Add beaten egg, mix and allow to cook in low flame.
Gently stir it and continue cooking for some more mins.
Once the egg masala turns golden and fragrant, add this to the steamed white rice and biryani masala.
Mix gently. Serve hot with fresh chopped coriander sprinklings.
These go great with any raita.
Till then Happy Blogging

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C...

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe...
