Schezwan Capsicum Fried Rice


An awesome recipe to order in restaurants now can be created in your own kitchen!! I wonder which restaurant sells this though....

 
Schezwan Capsicum Fried Rice

Ingredients (serves for 2-3 persons)
Capsicum - 3 (very small size) different colours
Basmati rice - 1 cup, 200 grams, of rice
Big onion - 1 (medium size)
Kashmiri chilli - 2
Red chili - 2
Frozen Green peas - 3 handful
Frozen Sweet corn - 3 handful
Tomato sauce - 2 tsp
Soya sauce - 2 tsp
Pepper powder - 1 tsp
Salt to taste

For the seasoning
Butter - 2 tsp
Oil - 3 tsp
Sombu (Aniseed) broken - 1/2 tsp

Preparation
Chop the onion and capsicums in long size pattern.
Make the Szechwan sauce:
Method - Soak the Kashmiri chilies and Ordinary Red chilies in little hot water for 5 minutes, grind the same and make paste without making it watery.

Method
In a Frying pan add 2 tsp of butter and fry Sombu. Add the remaining oil and fry the onion pieces with little salt to golden brown.
Add the half boiled fresh green peas, sweet corn and fry for a minute.
Add the chopped Capsicum of all colors available and small amount of salt.
On fried vegetables add the Szechwan sauce, Tomato sauce, Soya sauce and Pepper powder and sauté until the vegetables become soft.
Now add the cooked rice and salt to taste in the mixture, mix well in high flame for a while and switch off the flame. Now the dish is ready to serve.

Tips
For boiling fresh green peas, sweet corn (available in frozen form) it is enough to keep the peas and sweet corn with some little water in a small flat bowl on the pressure cooker while cooking the rice.
Add little salt to rice before mixing the rice with the main dish so that the salt will spread evenly in the rice/dish.
Take care while sprinkling the salt because it is used in various stages. If the dish becomes salty, the taste will not be good.
