Vegetable fried rice

Got some cooked rice left over from last night? Here's one quick way to transform it into a tasty lunch!

Ingredients:
Rice, cooked - 1/2 cup
Onion, sliced - 1/2 large
Bell pepper, chopped - 1
Chickpeas - 1/2 can
Peas and carrots - 1/2 cup
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Water - 1 cup
Coriander leaves and lemon juice - garnish

Servings: 1-2
Cooking time: 15 min

Method:
Microwave the chickpeas in 1/2 cup of water for 5 min. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a wok. Sputter the cumin seeds and add the onion and bell peppers. When the onions turn golden brown, add the peas and carrots and water. Cook for 5 min, and add the rice and salt. Mix well and cook on medium/low flame for 5-10 min. Garnish with coriander leaves and lemon juice.
