Egg Pilau Rice

Ingredients:

2 tbsp oil (plus extra to fry your eggs)
half a medium onion, chopped
1/3 green bell pepper, chopped
half a medium tomato, finely chopped
1 green chilli, chopped
1 tsp mixed powder
pinch of ground coriander
pinch of dried fenugreek leaves (methi)
2 tbsps green peas
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
500ml (2 cups) cooked rice
Handful of coriander (cilantro), chopped
1 green chilli, to garnish
1 onion slice, halved, to garnish

Method:

Place a wok or similar pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the 2 tbsp oil and use to fry the onion, bell pepper and chilli. Cook for 2 minutes then season with the salt and cook for about 5 minutes more or until the onions are golden brown.

Crumble over the dried fenugreek leaves and leave to cook. In the meantime, break the eggs into a bowl, beating lightly to combine. Reduce the heat to low and add in the mix powder and coriander. Stir well to combine, increase the heat to high and cook for about 90 seconds until the spices are aromatic.

Add a little more oil if needed, allow to come to heat then add in the eggs and cook just as you would an omelette. Break up the omelette and add the peas. Stir fry the peas into the eggs until the eggs are cooked and the mixture is broken into pieces.

Add in the cooked rice, coriander (cilantro) and the chopped tomato. Stir well to combine then stir-fry the mixture for about 3 minutes until everything has warmed through.

Turn into a warmed serving dish, garnish with the halved onion slice and the green chilli then serve.
