Steps

1 hr

1

Rinse rice very well till the water runs clear of starch. Soak rice in water for 30 mins. Drain and keep aside.
2

In a pot, bring to a gentle boil 4.5 to 5 cups of water with salt and 2 to 3 drops of oil.
3

Add the soaked and drained rice to the hot water.
4

On a low to medium flame cook the rice without the lid.
5

When the rice becomes al dente or just cooked, remove the pot from fire and drain the rice.
6

You can also gently rinse the rice in water so that they stop cooking and don't stick to each other. Cover the rice and keep aside till the rice cools completely.
7

Heat oil in a wok or a pan. First add the star anise, dalchini, Elaichi and fry for some seconds or till the oil becomes fragrant.
8

Then add all the finely chopped veggies including the celery. Increase the flame to a medium or high and stir fry the veggies.
9

You have to continuously toss and stir while frying so that the veggies are uniformly cooked and do not get burnt.
10

The veggies have to be stir-fried, till they are almost cooked and yet retain their crunchiness and crispiness.
11

Add rice and salt. Stir fry for few minutes.Serve the fried rice hot plain or with an indo chinese vegetable gravy.
