Method to make spicy prawn fired rice

Let us see the making of fried rice.

Marinate the prawns

In a bowl add the deveined and cleaned prawns.

To this add the salt, chilli powder, light soya sauce and vinegar. if you dont have vinegar, you can add the lemon juice also.

Mix them well and allow to marinate for about 30 to 45 minutes. keep it aside.

Fry the prawns

After about 30 minutes, in a big pan, add this marinated prawns. Saute them nicely so that prawns are almost cooked. It should be cooked for about 70 to 75% only.

no need to add any water, as the prawn itself leaves out water. cook in medium flame.

To know that prawns are 75% cooked, it gets curled up nicely and water dries out. It is the correct stage to remove the prawns from the pan.

remove it and keep it aside.

Prepare the fried rice

In the same pan, add oil

and when oil is hot add the ginger and garlic and fry in high flame.

also add the finely chopped onion and fry them too. If you want you can add 2 green chillies at this stage and fry them too. But i have not added here, as this spicy prawn fried rice is already spicy enough for our taste buds.

once the onion are nicely fried, add the capsicum and white part of the spring onions. Fry them in high flame.

In addition to it, add the soya sauce and the vinegar and mix them.

to this add the cooked prawns and green part of spring onions and again fry them in high flame.

Add little sugar so that it gives a nice sweet taste to the veggies and also maintains the colors of the added veggies.

now add the chilli sauce or tomato sauce, (i have added chilli sauce). In addition to it, add the pepper and salt as required.

Mix them well so that prawns gets fully cooked by this time. After that Add the boiled and cooked rice and fry them well in high flame so that they get a nice burnt flavor.

once the rice gets mixed well with the masala, then your spicy prawn fried rice is ready.

Notes

1. You can adjust all the spiciness as per your taste buds. I have not added green chilli, as the chilli powder itself spicy enough for us.
2. For fried rice, the rice should be fried in high flame so that you can get nice smoky flavour to the dish.
3. Try to use a thick iron wok.

This paneer is now fried in high flame along with other veggies in a Chinese wok or an iron kadai to get the nice smoky flavour. If you do not have the chinese wok, you can use your iron kadai or normal vessel, but try to fry the veggies and the paneer in high flame, so as to match the taste that we get in restaurants.

You can add your favourite veggies, but add them in less quantity so that i want take away the flavour of paneer in this paneer fried rice.

• For a perfect fried rice, either big chinese wok or big iron kadai is used. So try to use a thick bottomed vessel and fry all the veggies in high flame. If you are begginer, try to do in medium flame atleast.
• If you are using Basmati rice, it gives nice flavor. But you can also use other rice.
• Whatever rice you use, while cooking the rice, add 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp oil. Also the rice should be 75 to 80 % cooked for a perfect fried rice. You can also keep them in fridge and use it. Just keep the rice out, before you start cooking the fried rice.
• Olive oil gives a nice flavor. So try to use it.
• Use the soya sauce and the vinegar in equal proportions. ( for 3 cups rice, 1 to 1.5 tsp is enough dont add more). Also chilli sauce is optional but gives the nice sweet taste.
