Sweet corn fried rice recipe

Sweet corn fried rice, an easy fried rice recipe with step by step pictures, perfect for lunch box too. Veg fried rice i make at home at least once in a week for kids lunch box. Though I follow the usual veg fried rice recipe, as the taste of the kids change, i customized it as per their requirements. Both of them don't like the pepper taste in fried rice and i started using the Thai red chili or the green chili for spiciness. Recently when i ran out of other veggies and had only a bit of capsicum and frozen corn left, i made this sweet corn fried rice for the kids lunch box. As it was welcomed by kids, i thought i post this style of making fried rice. Do try this at home and let me know how it turned out.

• Description: Sweet corn fried rice, an easy fried rice recipe with step by step pictures, perfect for lunch box too

     Basmati rice  1/2 cup
     Olive oil  1 tblsp + 1 tsp
     Garlic  1 tblsp (finely chopped)
     Spring onion whites   3 tblsp ( can replace with normal onion too)
     Fresh Red chili or green chili  1
     Sugar  1/2 tsp
     Capsicum  2 tblsp
     Sweet corn  1/3 cup
     Spring onion greens  1 tblsp (to garnish)
     Salt   as needed
     Soya sauce   1 tsp 

Method  :

• Wash and cook the basmati rice in 3/4 cup of water along with little salt and 1 tsp oil.
• Cook in pressure cooker for 3-4 whistles.
• Once done spread in a wide plate. Let the grains be separate. 
• In a pan add oil and add the chopped garlic, slit chili and spring onion whites. 
• Saute for 2 minutes and add the sugar. 
• Sugar when caramalised gives a nice taste to the fried rice.
• You can discard the chili from the oil now and it may get too spicy, especially the Thai chilli we get here is very spicy. 
• Once the garlic becomes slight golden color, add the capsicum and sweet corn. I used frozen corn. If using fresh one, cook this add. 
• Saute in a medium high flame for 2-3 minutes. 
• Ensure not to burnt it. 
• Add salt and soya sauce to this. 
• Mix well and add in the cooked rice. 
• Gently mix it well without breaking the rice. 
• Cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Switch off the flame and garnish with spring onion greens. 
• You can enjoy the fried rice as it is or have it with Manchurian too. 

Notes:

1. Instead of chilis, you can add 3/4 tsp of pepper powder in the last step along with rice.
2. Always cook the basmati rice to separate grains for the sweet corn fried rice.  The fried rice can be made using left over rice too.
