This is a quick and easy Fried Garlic Rice recipe. It is aromatic, with garlicky flavor and loaded with crispy garlic chips. I love this, as only few ingredients are used, quick and easy to make and goes along with any veg or non veg curry. Leftover cooked basmati or jasmine rice is the best to make this garlic rice and can be prepared in five minutes!
Ingredients for Garlic Rice:
1 cup basmati / jasmine rice
1-2 tbsp olive oil
10 garlic cloves minced (or 1 tbsp full)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper powder
How to cook Garlic Fried Rice:
Cook 1 cup basmati rice in 2 cups of water. Bring it to a rolling boil, keep the flame on medium, When most of the water is absorbed, close the lid, put off the fire and keep it aside for half an hour.
After its cooked open the lid and let the basmati rice cool, keep it aside. Rice should be cold, not hot.
Leftover rice in the refrigerator is the best. Break the rice clumps if any using a spatula.
Heat a wok / kadai, add oil, once hot keep it on low flame and add minced garlic and fry until the garlic turns into nice golden brown.
Now add the rice, salt, pepper and mix, Stir fry for 1-2minutes on low flame, The garlic in the oil will give a nice flavor to the rice. It’s ready! Now enjoy your garlic rice.
Have garlic rice with Mutton Rogan Josh or Pepper Chicken or any veg gravy.
Optional: Garnish with finely chopped spring onions.
