I used what was available in our kitchen- cooked basmati rice, peanut oil, green chili, red onions and cilantro. Fried the onions until medium brown, added cilantro, green paper and salt to taste. I then added the rice and constantly stirred gently until all was hot. My wife declared it was the best fried rice she'd ever had, better than what we have in restaurants. But then there was another declaration - I'm the fried rice expert and will be making it going forward - :-)

Absolutely wonderful, even with brown rice! -
worked with what I had & followed as closely as poss. Both DH and DD enjoyed quite a bit! Want to try again following the recipe a bit closer next time. -
I made this rice to go with Tandoori chicken. It was easy to prepare & very tasty. I used only 2 large garlic cloves, 1/2 a sweet onion, a handful of mushrooms & some chopped kale along with the spices & cashews. I always have all these spices on hand so it will be a "go to" recipe, good enough for company, easy enough for every day. -
The recipe has a few ingredients I don't usually stock (but have 'em now!), but that just prompted me to try them out! VERY, VERY NICE TASTING RICE, but I'd definitely say this serves 4 very nicely (so the Nutrition Facts are off a bit, what with just 2 servings)! Gave it the full compliment of both chili powder & garlic & it's definitely something to make again! thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in India - More Than Just Curries Tag Game]

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
