Burnt Garlic Rice

This is a dish I happened to try over the past weekend at a Chinese/ Thai restaurant. Heard about Garlic rice, a common in my mom's ktichen, but 'burnt' garlic rice was a new flavour to rice that I tasted that day. It was indeed nice. But I really wished there was a little more of the garlic flavour, I really expected it to stand out. So, here I tried making it to the taste I had expected it to be.

Ingredients:

Serves Two

2 cups of Basmati rice - soaked in water for 30 mins.

4 cups of water
1 cup garlic coves - cut into jullienes
salt to taste
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil


Method:

Cook the rice with water and salt to taste; and keep aside.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tsp of oil, add the garlic jullienes and fry till they get burnt a little.


Add the cooked rice and mix well. Serve hot with a sauce of your choice.
