Corn Fried Rice | Sweet Corn Fried Rice | Corn Veg Fried Rice is a tasty fried rice and I should say that my family enjoyed  the sweet taste of fresh corn in the fried rice. Once we tasted this dish  at Crowne Plaza, KL, Malaysia but it was very bland. For a long time, I was planning to make this dish with an Indian touch and today, you can see the result of those plans. Nowadays, I decide my weekend menu considering my blog because only on holidays, I have time to take photographs. But  I don’t want to spend too much of time in the kitchen since summer has started in Chennai.  I should also satisfy my son’s holiday meal with something that he likes the most. So I thought of making this fried rice, and needless to say, the dish turned out amazingly well. 

Ingredients:

Basmati rice     - 1 cup

Garlic (very finely chopped)  - 1 tbsp 

Ginger (very finely chopped)  - 1 tbsp

Sweet corn Kernels – ¾ cup

Capsicum         - ¼ cup

Carrot  - 1 No.

Beans   -  3 Nos.

Spring onion  - 2 sprigs

Tomato sauce – 1 tbsp

Soya sauce – 1 tsp

Chilli sauce  - 1 tbsp

Pepper powder - 2 tsp

Salt to taste

Oil  - 3 tbsp

 Method:

1. Wash & soak basmati rice for about minimum 15 minutes.
2. Cook the basmati rice with 1:2 water and salt. Spread the cooked rice in a flat bowl and drizzle some oil over  it so that it will not stick.
3. Cut the vegetables into thin, long pieces. Finely chop the white and green parts of the spring onion and keep them ready.
4. Remove the kernels from the sweet corn. Wash and cook in enough water by adding little salt for about 5 minutes. Drain the kernels from water and keep aside.
5. In a flat bottomed non stick pan, pour oil and add finely chopped garlic, ginger and sauté till you get nice aroma. Add white part of the spring onion, sauté a little, then add all vegetables along with a portion of finely chopped spring onion (green part) and sauté vegetables in high flame for 2 minutes.
6. When the vegetables are 3/4^th done, add the corn kernels and sauté everything in high flame.
7. Then add salt required for vegetables and all sauces, sauté well for 1 minute. By this time, the veggies would have shrunk.
8. Then add rice ,  pepper powder and the balance spring onion , gently mix rice with vegetable- corn mixture. Check for salt & spice  and add if required. After everything gets mixed with the rice evenly, switch off the stove.
