Fodni Bhaat
(Indian Fried Rice)
This is a great way of reviving last night's rice - it has to be cold to work correctly; warm rice will just go starchy and sticky.
Method
- In a medium frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Reduce heat to medium heat, add black mustard seeds, and cook, stirring, until seeds pop, about 15 seconds.
- Add garlic and green chillies and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes, adjusting heat as needed if garlic is browning.
- Add turmeric and chilli powder and stir until they impart their colour to the oil, about 10 seconds.
- Immediately add rice and stir until thoroughly coated with oil and hot.
- Season with salt to taste. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.
