Basil is a member of the Mint family, and like most other mints, is mainly used in medicine for its digestive and anti-gas properties. I just love to put few leaves of basil in every dish i make. Initially i hated the basil flavor to the core, i tried 3-4 times before i started liking it. And today i love the falvor.
Here is the simple Fried Rice recipe. Try it and i'm sure you will enjoy it too.
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked Rice
4 cloves of Garlic
4 Green chillies
1/2 cup Green Bell Pepper(chopped lengthwise)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper(chopped Lengthwise)
1 cup basil
Salt
Soya sauce
Ketchup(optional)
Method:
mash the garlic and green chillies finely, so that the you dont get big chunks of chillies.
I used Kuttani(copper one which my mom gave me).You can already smell the flavor by this time.
In a kadai , heat up the oil and add mashed garlic chillie , fry for few mins (2-3 mins) and now add green and red bell peppers. Fry it for 3 mins again. Add cooked rice, salt, soya sauce mix everything well. Leave it for 2 mins and now add basil to it. Mix well, cover the lid and simmer it for 3 mins.
Flavorful basil fried rice is ready to serve with ketchup
