Jhatpat rice

Had to figure out a quick rice item for the man's lunch box, and decided to throw in everything that I could use. None of them were in sufficient quantity to able to own the dish, but the result was still tasty and interesting.

Ingredients

Cooked rice, half cup
Onions chopped 1 small
Green chillies chopped 1
Lemon juice (I just had a few drops)
Mint leaves (I just had very few of them on me) chopped
Jeera 1 tsp
Green peas frozen 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil 2 tsp

Method
  1. Heat oil, add the jeera and fry.
  2. Then add the onions, green chillies and fry. Once that is done, add mint leaves and fry. Add the green peas and cook till soft.
  3. Add the rice, salt and mix well. Once it is mixed well, add the lemon juice and again mix.
  4. Serve with raita. Khatham kahaani.
I can think of N number of variations to this. Adding curry powder, cashews, chopped veggies, whatever comes to mind. No hard and fast rule to this rice, you can have a field day with the ingredients.
