Spring onion: 1 cup

Garlic: 8 cloves chopped

Black pepper pwd: 1 tbsp

Method:

Wash the basmati rice and cook them with 1:11/2 ratio water, by adding 2 tbsps of oil and let cool.

In a pan take 1/4 cup oil and heat. Add the chopped garlic pieces and fry until golden brown.

Now add the mixed vegetables, spring onions, salt and pepper pwd and fry until soft.

Now add the soy sauce to the fried vegetable stir for about 2 minutes and remove from heat.

Add the cooked rice to the vegetables and mix well. Adjust salt to taste.

Lastly add croutons and serve hot. (Add the croutons before serving for crunchiness).

Tastes very good with curd raita.
