Ingredients

3 cups of cooked rice (I used basmati rice)

In a wok, heat oil to smoking point and throw in the chopped onions. Saute them for about 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
Now throw in the diced vegetables, add salt and fry on high heat for another 2-3 minutes stirring frequently. Do not over cook the vegetables. Just cook them till tender.
Add ginger & garlic paste and sauté for another 2 mts. Add red chilli powder, white pepper powder, crushed kasuri methi leaves, and saute for a minute. Add ajinomoto and soya sauce, and saute for a minute.
