Fried Rice Indian Style is a flavorful Indian rice dish with aromatic spices and a distinct regional character. This vegetarian preparation is a versatile family side dish that pairs well with curries and raita.
Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Add 1 tsp cumin seeds and sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in the finely chopped onion and sauté on medium-high for 2–3 minutes until translucent.
Mix in the ginger garlic paste and sauté for 1 minute, then add diced carrot, green peas, and bell pepper; cook over medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften but retain crispness.
Reduce to medium-low and sprinkle in turmeric, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt; stir quickly to evenly coat the vegetables—but avoid burning the spices.
Add cooked basmati rice to the pan, gently tossing and folding to combine with spiced vegetables; turn heat to high for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure the rice heats through and grains remain separate.
Turn off the heat, cover, and let the fried rice rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld without drying out the rice.
