Ingredients

2 Cups Basmati Rice
450 Gms Boneless chicken (boiled and shredded/cut)
3 Eggs
1/4 Cup Red chilly flakes (alter as per preference)
100 Gms Garlic (chopped fine)
1 Bundle Spring onions (chopped fine)
1 Tspn Soya Sauce
1/2 Tspn Pepper powder
Salt (as per taste)
1/2 Tspn Ajinomoto (optional)
3 Tbspn Oil (to add while boiling the rice)
4 Tbspn Oil (to cook the fried rice)
2 Tbspn Salt (to add while boiling the rice)

Instructions

Follow these steps for boiling the rice

In a large vessel add water, 3 tbspn oil and 2 tbspn salt and place it on high flame
Simultaneously, gently wash the basmati rice until it runs clear and keep aside
As soon as the water starts boiling add in the rice and Mark the time
Exactly after 6 minutes, turn off the gas flame and strain the rice
Note: the rice does not have to be fully cooked. It should be cooked about 60% only because while it is cooling, with it’s heat, it further cooks and while tossing, it cooks even further! So, if the rice is fully cooked or over cooked, the fried rice will be very mushy and that’s something nobody really enjoys!
Gently using the back of a fork, separate the rice grains and allow the rice to completely cool at room temperature
Note: once the rice is kept for cooling, there should be no contact made with the rice at all
Once cool, you can gently separate the rice grains using your hand, but very very gently

Follow these steps to make the Burnt Chilly Rice

Firstly, keep all your Ingrediennts ready
Here I have used left over chicken that I had fried for my chilly chicken but usually I use boiled chicken
In a Wok, add 4 tbspn oil and place it on high flame
Once the oil becomes hot, add in the garlic and keep tossing
As soon as the garlic starts turning brown, add the eggs and gently scramble them
Then add in the chilly flakes and keep tossing
Then add in the rice, spring onions, chicken, ajinomoto, salt, pepper powder and soya sauce and mix it well but ensure not to press the rice or else it will get smashed
Note: the size of the Wok will depend on the quantity of rice. If the Wok is small, you will not be able to toss it well and the rice may turn mushy
If for whatever reason you feel that the rice is sticking to each other, you can sprinkle some oil before tossing
All this should be done on High flame. Chinese food tastes best when it has a slight burnt flavour to it
You will not get the same flavour if you make Chinese in a regular vessel. You have to use a Wok!
As soon as all the rice grains are coated with the spices and sauces, check for salt
Turn off the flame and transfer the Burnt Chilly Garlic Rice in another vessel so that it doesn’t get any more heat or else the rice will get over cooked and soft
Enjoy your Burnt Chilly Garlic Rice when it’s HOT!!
Note:
You can make burnt chilly garlic rice using Prawns, Mushrooms, squids, Chicken, Beef, whatever you like.
Tip:- If using Prawns, squids or Mushroom, don’t pre cook it!
