Spicy Tomato and Vegetable Rice




This is a simple and great way to Jazz up rice, my Mum in law made something similar while she was here and  I really liked the way she added the mint. I added less Indian recipes this time as most are in archives. I love eating a different countries food every day so you will see Indian, Chinese, Thai, Italian, British and so many more here. I hope you enjoy global food as much I do, I keep reading all your lovely blogs and learning new recipes to add to my repertoire :-)

What are your new favorite recipes you have learnt recently ?








Ingredients:

  • One cup of cooked rice
  • one small onion chopped
  • 3 cloves of chopped garlic
  • about 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • one tablespoon masala powder
  • one teaspoon garam masala powder
  • salt to taste
  • one cup frozen mixed vegetables 
  • a pinch of turmeric powder
Method:

  1. saute the onions and garlic in olive oil for 3 minutes
  2. add the vegetables and masala powders and for another 5 minutes until vegetables are cooked
  3. then add the rice and serve nice and easy
This makes a great packed lunch with a boiled egg or a quick meal.

Also just for fun I added a little Welcome Clip to give new visitors a wee intro to Chow and Chatter please let me know what you think and if you would edit in any way, I value your opinions :-)

  4. I've been making all sorts of vegetable fritters with the crop wwe've had recently - courgette, feta and dill are the best so far. This rice does look great, too!

  12. My stupid computer/internet is dying on me and it won't play your video =[ *sigh* I'll watch it when I get it fixed!

    I love how blogs have introduced me to so many different types of food- not just the interesting, unusal types, but also food which is really common only I've never heard of before =] Like, I wouldn't have known what masala powder or tumeric powder was if I didn't read blogs (we don't use it at home). But now I do =] Which is why I could just imagine how yummy this rice dish is!

  19. What a great recipe! I always enjoy global recipes because I think they have a lot more flavor than our US standards that often rely on sugar (# 1 food additive in the US) and fat for flavor. :-)

    I am selfish. I love having all these good recipes on my blog so I can look them up, at a moment's notice. I can assure you, I am not the only one.

    I hope I can make this soon. It sounds so good.
