Thinly sliced vegetables(carrot, capsicum, onion, cabbage):- 1/2 cup each
Rice:- 2 1/2 cups (cooked rice)
Salt as per taste
Garam Masala Powder:- 1 Tsp
Red Chilli Powder:- 1 Tsp
Soya sauce:- 1 1/2 Tbsp

For garnishing:-

Spring Onions:- 1 (finely chopped)
Coriander leaves:- 2 Tsp (finely chopped)


Procedure:-

1)In a non stick pan , heat the oil on a medium heat.

2)When hot add cumin seeds,mustard seeds , slivered almonds & dried cranberries, saute for a minute.

3)Add all the veggies , salt, garam masala, red chilli powder and soya sauce, mix everything well & cook till veggies are little tender ( you don't have to cook for long as veggies are suppose to have little crunch in this recipe)
