Yellow rice?? have u ever heard about this name..may be, but this dish got this name from my lil one who used to name lemon rice as 'RIZ Jaune' in french which means Yellow rice...I hate trashing foods and i tried this rice before few days back since some leftover rice were sitting in my fridge, i dont want to serve those left over rice just with some gravies, to give them a second life i tried out adding few spice powder and frozen green peas to give them a beautiful aspect..I was quite anxious about this culinary experience but for my surprise this rice tastes too delicious..u doesnt need to chop anything, grind anything..This quick and simple rice can suits very prefect for lunch box menu and my H carried this rice for his lunch with some spicy potato masala..As this rice is prepared with mild spices this dish can be served very well to even small kids with more veggies like carrots, cabbages or french beans..Even a bachelor can prepare this dish easily within few minutes...This was my first trial and gonna try this same preparation with many variations.
2cups Leftover rice
2nos Bayleaves
1no Cinnamon stick
2nos Cloves
1/2tsp Turmeric powder
1tsp Garam masala powder
1/4tsp Red chilly powder
1/2tsp Pepper powder
1/2cup Frozen green peas
Salt
Oil
Heat enough oil and fry the bayleaves, cinnamon stick and cloves until they turns brown, add immediately the frozen green peas and turmeric powder with salt, cook until the peas shrinks a bit..add immediately the garam masala powder, pepper powder,red chilly powder, saute everything gently in simmer flame with lid closed...after few minutes add the left over rice and toss gently well until the rice get mixed well with the spices..put off the stove..can garnish with chopped coriander leaves, but its completely optional..
Serve hot with any spicy side dish!
