As a part of 8000credit’s money saving posts, i have decided to give the readers frugal recipes twice a week. We all love food and spend a whole lot of money on dining outside. Cooking is all the more fun when done with friends and family , sometimes a great stress buster even if you are alone. Why not treat our taste buds in a way that it is not harsh on our wallet?
So here is the first recipe in this section. Today i am gonna tell you how to make a simple vegetarian rice meal in half hour.
All you need is a tablespoon of curry powder, some oil , a cup of white rice, some chopped onions, a can of mixed vegetable , salt to taste and some water.
Now getting down to how to prepare this dish, heat some oil of your choice ( vegetable, sunflower or olive) in a saucepan that is deep, add the curry powder and let it heat till the mixture boils. Now add a cup of white rice and mix till the rice is well coated. Add salt according to your taste. Now pour enough water to cover the rice. Toss in a tin of mixed vegetables and chopped onions. Let the mixture cook for about 25 minutes till the rice is done. Now the rice is ready to serve. I would love to add a bit of lemon juice to this rice or you could sauté and throw in some sausage to make the dish more hearty!!!
