Recipe for Indian-style Chinese Fried Rice in steps

Ingredients:

- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably leftover rice)

- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, beans, cabbage, etc.), finely chopped

- 1 onion, finely chopped

- 2 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated

- 2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup

- 1 tablespoon vinegar

- 1 teaspoon chili sauce (optional, for extra heat)

- 2 tablespoons oil

- Salt to taste

- Fresh coriander leaves for garnishing

Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.

2. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies to the hot oil. Sauté for a minute until the raw aroma disappears.

3. Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.

4. Add the finely chopped mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

5. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, and chili sauce (if using). Set the sauce mixture aside.

6. Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the cooked rice to the other side. Break up any lumps in the rice using a spatula.

7. Pour the sauce mixture over the rice and vegetables. Mix everything well, ensuring that the rice is coated with the sauce.

8. Stir-fry the rice and vegetable mixture for a few minutes until everything is well combined and heated through. Make sure the rice doesn't get mushy.

9. Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding salt or more soy sauce if needed.

10. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

11. Serve the flavorful Indian-style Chinese Fried Rice hot as a main course or as a side dish with Manchurian, chili paneer, or any other Indo-Chinese dish.
