Phodni Bhat (Seasoned Stir-Fried Rice)

Ingredients:

Cooked rice - 1 cup
Onion, finely chopped - 1 cup
Green chili, slit lengthwise - 1 large
Jeera (cumin seeds) - 1 tsp
Rai (mustard seeds) - 1 tsp
Sunflower seeds - 1/4 cup (optional)
Egg - 1 (optional)
Haldi (Turmeric powder) - 1/4 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste

Cooking time: 5 min
Servings: 2

Method:
Add jeera, rai and sunflower seeds to hot oil in a wok. When the rai starts to sputter, add the green chili and onion. Stir fry until the onions are translucent. Break the egg into the wok and stir until scrambled. Mix in the rice, salt and turmeric and fry for a couple of minutes.

This is a variation on my mom's recipe and makes for a quick snack for breakfast or in the afternoon. The sunflower seeds are a delicious addition and they are cheaper than cashews!
