Spicy Sambar-Powder Fried Rice: Truly Finger-licking good!:)

When my uber-hip Aunt mentioned that she simply loved this 'Spicy Sambar powder fried rice', I knew she was onto something.Always trust a fellow foodie.It is oh-so-easy to make and simply delish! Here's how she makes it:

You need a nice deep prep- bowl. Take some butter or Ghee(in amounts that your body can handle) and throw in the following finely chopped veggies: Onions, capsicum(red, yellow, green), tomatoes. Throw in some finely minced garlic, grated coconut, chopped parsley, curry leaves & crushed peanuts as well for good measure. Now add the Sambar powder (add the powder based on the quantity of rice prepared)to this mixture. The sambar powder is what brings spice to this dish. 

Place this mixture on a hot skillet and stir fry.You'll soon notice the heady aromas of sambar powder and butter filling your entire kitchen. It's the most appetizing scent that wafts about ever! I like my vegetables crunchy so I usually, stir fry for about 3 minutes. When the vegetables look like they're done add the cooked basmati rice and mix. 

Garnish with some chopped cilantro and serve while steaming hot.
