Starting with some potatoes so I'm going To be honest with you I'm also going to Try and use up some leftover vegetables From the fridge so I have got a little Bit of cabbage here which I will just Chop up Um Finely as finely as I can I'm also going To peel and chop two potatoes I always Use red because I love the flavor and They're good all rounder and one pepper So let me quickly chop and See it has softened up very nicely and It's just beginning to get a little bit Of color So I'm gonna add the cabbage in and just Continue to cook this while I chop the Other vegetables That's a bit too thick let me finely Chop this bit Now goes in the potatoes give it a good Mix And now I'll prep the Peppers so in gold The pepper And last thing I'm going to add some Tomatoes the vegetables are cooking I'm Just going to chop a couple of like kind Of medium sized smallish Tomatoes just Roughly chopped I promise I will look better I I will kind of make sure that I am not Just walk out of the house like this you Can watch till the end of the video to
See if I do Make an effort anyways so yeah it's um Really nice to go out and see friends But sometimes yeah I leave it to the Last minute and then try and get stuff Dinner sorted for the family right this Is looking beautiful Colorful Stunning I'm just gonna give it two minutes I might just turn the heat High because I love the charge bottom that you get When you are kind of frying the Vegetables because I can cook this on low heat but if I get That charred bits it adds so much flavor To it so while that's happening I'm Going to quickly prep the rice and while This is cooking I'm just literally going To throw in just literally a handful of Peas I don't want too many peas and then Continue to cook this for like I said Um three to four minutes on high heat Now I add in the spices so a teaspoon of Salt a teaspoon of chili powder teaspoon Of turmeric powder and a teaspoon of Garam masala and that's it Just give it a good mix That is looking fabulous And now I add in The rice Right before that I'm going to add lots Of coriander this is obviously optional I love it and I'm adding it now so that
It releases its flavor into the rice While the rice is cooking this smells so Good right so in goes the 200 grams of Washed rice I always use basmati rice And I'm going to very gently mix it all Up I wanted more vegetables and a bit less Rice so that is why but if you want Don't want so many vegetables you can Reduce And just use one potato instead of two The heat is still on high I'm adding 400 ML of water to this 420 actually And look it's straight away bubbling Because I've added boiling water so all That left to do is mix it up all really Really well And now I better Lid on reduce the heat to really low For 15 minutes exactly so this has gone Really quiet now pin drops Highlands Um So I have got exactly 15 minutes so I'm Going to prep a couple of sides to go With it because obviously I want them to Have a lovely meal so I will show you What I will serve with it okay I will Make a lovely Salad to go with it so Um just I'm using half a cucumber and I've got one onion I'm just gonna chop It all up roughly and mix it all up in a Bowl
