What is Indian Egg Fried Rice?

Fried rice is usually prepared using long-grain rice (preferably Basmati rice), finely chopped vegetables and some seasonings ingredients.

This is an Indo-Chinese cuisine and usually served as a street food.

I usually prefer cooking fried rice with long-grain rice as it comes out non-sticky and also blends well with the vegetables while sauteing.

Make sure the vegetables are thinly sliced or chopped so that we need not cook for a longer time.

Usually I add scrambled eggs, carrots, cabbage, onions, beans and capsicum. But, you may add any vegetables of your choice.

Adding fried paneer, fried potatoes, fried chicken 65, gobi 65 will give this dish a new taste and look.

Indian Egg Fried Rice tastes the best when served with Chips, Gobi Manchurian, Gobi 65, paneer butter masala, mushroom gravy or any other veg & non-veg gravy.

How to Cook Rice Perfectly?

  • I always prefer long-grain rice over any other rice variety.
  • Take a good amount of water in a pan and bring it to a boil.
  • Water starts boiling.
  • Now, add few drops of oil to prevent rice from sticking to each other.
  • Add a little salt.
  • You may also add cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf, star anise for some extra flavorful rice. It’s completely optional.
  • Now it’s time to add the washed & soaked rice.
  • Cook the rice until 90% done.
  • Do NOT over cook or fully cook. The rice might break and it would be sticky.
  • Take one rice and try to smash it between your fingers. It should cut easily.
  • Turn off the flame.
  • Drain the rice using a strainer.
  • Drain the water completely.
  • Spread it on a plate and dry it under the fan and not in the sun.
  • Once it dries up completely, you can use it for preparing fried rice.
  • You can also use jeera rice to prepare the same dish.
  • Always make sure rice is dry and non-sticky to get the perfect fried rice.



How to cut vegetables perfectly for fried rice?

Make sure to cut the vegetables as thinly as possible. Do NOT cook the vegetables fully, they need to be crunchy.

Always use a sharp knife and be very careful. You may also use a food processor to do the same.
