EASY INDIAN FLAVORED FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a large stir-fry pan or wok saute onions and garlic in about 1 Tbs. oil over medium to medium-high heat until onions are translucent.
• Mix in curry powder and cayenne.
• Gently stir in the left over rice.
• When the rice is thoroughly mixed with the onions and spices, push the rice to the side of the pan, creating a "hole". Add the two eggs to the pan.
• When the bottom of the eggs have begun to set, start stirring the egg to keep it from sticking. Some of the rice will start to fall into the egg mixture, that's OK.
• Thoroughly but gently stir the rice and eggs until the eggs are completely cooked.
• Serve immediately.
• My kids especially enjoyed this with a spoonful of plain yogurt.

INDIAN STYLE BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• Place rice into a bowl with enough water to cover. Set aside to soak for 20 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat. Add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and cumin seed. Cook and stir for about a minute, then add the onion to the pot. Saute the onion until a rich golden brown, about 10 minutes. Drain the water from the rice, and stir into the pot. Cook and stir the rice for a few minutes, until lightly toasted. Add salt and water to the pot, and bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving.
