Frozen vegetables and garam masala
  • 1 tsp oil
Add the cold cooked rice with a teaspoon of oil and a little salt; stir gently over medium-high for a few minutes so the grains stay fluffy and separate.
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp water
Add the nutmeg, then two tablespoons of water; cover immediately and keep on low heat two minutes so the steam infuses the spices.
  • 1 tsp homemade ghee
  • chopped coriander leaves
  • lemon juice
Uncover and stir in the ghee; finish with chopped coriander leaves and a few drops of lemon juice.
