Hi Friends,
I tried a lot to give a suitable name to this dish as its a fusion kind of recipe. Still i am not satisfied with the name. Please suggest a good name for this dish.  I made veg biriyani with combo of Indian and Chinese method of cooking which came out excellent. Yesterday i asked my hubby what he want for dinner he said make brown rice but as you know brown is very healthy but doesn't taste that much good. Earlier i made brown rice Pulao so wanted to try out something different. I thought for a while and kept on thinking to make it interesting. By the time i started boiling brown rice as it takes lot of time to cook. Then i started preparing veggies which was available with me.
 Suddenly i reminded my son was asking for hakka noddles which was out of stock and an idea clicked me, i said to myself yes brown rice biriyani Chinese style. wow. One thing which always attract me in chinease food is that they don't cook veggies full they saute them which gives a very nice crunch. I started preparing everything, by the time rice was cooked i was ready to give my biriyani final heat. My rice was ready within 30 minutes. Yes even i was amazed that how these scrumptious rice served in such a short time. Believe me friends they worth trying specially if you like Chinese food. You can spice it up by adding chilly sauce or red/green chilly. My family loved it. Try it guys it worth trying.

Notes:-

  1. Fry all veggies like ginger garlic capsicum onion lightly to remain the crunch intact. As in most of the Chinese recipes i saw they cook veggies but let them remain crunchy that's the taste i wanted in my biriyani.
  2. Brown rice needs lot of water and time to get cooked.
  3. Don't over boil the rice they should be 90% cooked while added in tomato gravy. 
  4. Always mix rice gently otherwise they will get mushy. 
  5. You can use boiled rice water to make tomato gravy it will become more rich.
  6. You can add red/green chilly or even chilly sauce to spice it up.
  7. You can serve it with any side dish/sauce/chatni etc. But it will never disappoint you if you will take it alone.

HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT

Love
