Notes
- A day-old cold rice is ideal for making fried rice. Cook the rice one day ahead or use leftover cooked rice. If you are using freshly cooked rice, spread the rice in a large tray or plate and let it air-dry. Suggest using Jasmine rice or any long grain or medium grain rice for this recipe.
- Any mild or hot Indian curry powder can be used. We usually use hot Madras curry powder.
- Chicken powder - Add chicken powder or msg if you wish to taste like the Chinese restaurants and takeaways. Or you can omit it, according to your preference.
- Ingredients variations: this dish is very versatile. You can swap with your favourite protein or stir fry vegetables.
- Do I need salt? Soy sauce and chicken powder have a salt intake, so we don't usually add extra salt to fried rice. You can make a taste test and season with more salt and pepper to your taste.
