No of People - 4
Ingredients

1. Basmati rice - 4 cups
2. Vegetables - Carrot, Peas, Beans, Corn, potato(optional) - each 1 cup
3. Green pepper - 1
4. Spring onions - 2
   
5. Pepper powder - 2 tbsp
6. Soy sauce - 1tbsp
7. Salt - as needed

Method

1. Fry rice with 2-3 tbsp of oil for 5 mts (till the rice gives a shine and turns brown)
2. Cut all vegetables tiny and keep it aside
3. Boil rice in a cooker for 10 mts with the ratio rice:water 1:1.25. I'm a person who cooks rice in a aluminium vessel(old style, but its healthy and easy when you got used to it)
4. Keep the boiled rice aside in a long serving tray to cool(we dont want to break the rice by mixing when its hot)
5. Fry oil in a pan and add green pepplers.
6. Add all vegetables one by one and wait till it gets cooked..make sure to have 5 mts in between adding vegetables and be patient to add one by one so that all vegetables gets cooked evenly
7. Add soy sauce(beware on adding a little soy sauce, a little more would give some fowl smell), spring onions, pepper powder and salt to the mixture and fry for 2 mts or so
   
8. Remove the mixture from the flame and mix it with the rice(which is not hot, warm is fine as long as the mixing doesnt break)
