- What is chilli coriander fried rice made off? chilli coriander fried rice is made from easily available ingredients in India like 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh red chillies, 1/2 cup finely chopped coriander (dhania), 3 1/2 cups cooked chinese rice (chawal) or long grained rice, 1 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic (lehsun), 1 tsp soy sauce and salt to taste.
-
-
To cook the Chinese long-grained rice (or basmati rice), wash 1 cup of long-grained rice thoroughly under running water until you get clear water. The removal of starch from rice helps in getting separate grains after cooking.
-
Transfer in a deep bowl and soak in enough water for 30 minutes.

Drain with the help of a strainer and keep aside.
-
Boil 4 cups of water in a deep non-stick pan.
-
Add salt.
-
Furthermore, add 1 tbsp of oil and mix well.
-
Add the rice to the boiling water and mix well.
-
Cook on a medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes or till the rice is 85% cooked, while stirring occasionally.
-
Strain it using a strainer and let the water drain out. This will give you around 3 cups after cooking. Do not overcook the rice or else they will turn soft and mushy.
-
Pour some cold water on the rice to stop further cooking. Let all the water from the rice drain out ensuring that the rice does not contain any moisture.
-
Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil. This helps in preventing the rice from sticking together.
-
Toss the rice in it. Ensure each grain is coated well with oil.
-
Spread the cooked Chinese Rice on a flat surface or a big plate and allow it to cool for 1 to 2 hours.
-
Cover the Chinese Rice with another plate so, the grains don’t dry out. Use as required.

Good taste. Maybe 2 tbsp oil is better to prevent rice from sticking
