Apple Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked basmati rice
• 2 cloves
• 2 cardamom pods
• 1 dried red chili
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp chopped cashews
• 2 tbsp raisins
• ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
• Salt to taste
• 1 tsp sugar
• ½ tsp cumin seeds
• A pinch of hing
• 1 bay leaf
• ½ cup chopped apple

Method

Step 1

Heat oil in a pan and add the bay leaf, cloves, cardamom pods, dried chili, cumin seeds, hing and sauté for a few seconds. Add the sliced onions now and cook till they look translucent.

Step 2

Add the cashews and fry them for a minute or so. Add the raisins, sugar and salt and stir. Now add the cooked and cooled basmati rice. Add the cinnamon powder and stir a little.

Step 3

Now add the apples, stir and cover. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

The apples need not be thoroughly cooked – we need them to be just a bit tender.

Step 5

Check the seasoning and adjust if needed. Pack it in your kid’s lunch box with plain curd, shrikhand or raita.
