hey guys how are you doing so many of
you had requested for a quick Mexican
rice so here it is and the best part of
this recipe is that we do not require
too many vessels or pots for this as we
are going to cook and assemble
everything in one pot without much
hassles and time so let's get started
to prepare this quick one pot Mexican
rice here I've got this long grain that
is passed with the rice which is around
one and a half cups try using a good
quality long grain rice for best results
as this Mexican rice comes out really
flavorful with this rice I have soaked
this just for half an hour we'll give
this aside for now next up in a pan or
in a wok add in two tablespoons of oil
you can also use butter instead for
extra taste and flavor do this we'll add
in one tablespoon of finely chopped
garlic stir it and cook it for about a
minute until it's lightly fried and
golden brown when this is done next goes
in two medium sized onions which I've
chopped like this cook that as well for
about two to three minutes or until
slightly soft do not turn it very dark
so after about two to three minutes
these onions are nice and soft now we'll
strain the water from the rice and add
it to the pan which I've strained all
the water and added all the rice to the
pan do not add any water at this point
of time saute it just for about one to
two more minutes along with the onions
so I think the rice in the oil will
really bring out that nutty flavor and
the rice tends to become more flavorful
tasty and separated after getting cooked
because it gets a nice coating of the
oil so I sauteed it just for about a
minute or two now we'll add in the
capsicum so here I'm using different
colored capsicums that is green yellow
and the red ones but if you don't get
these you can simply use only the green
because Mexican cuisine is full of
colorful vegetables and after the
capsicum goes in half a cup of green
peas so today I'm using the frozen ones
but if you want you can use the fresh
also as it will get easily cooked along
with the rice mix it a bit and then goes
in half a cup of tomato puree I'm using
the ready-made tomato puree for that
tangy flavor and color
but if you want you can simply crush
three to four tomatoes for this in the
blender and add it to the pan mix it
slightly and now we'll add in some herbs
so in goes some salt a little black
pepper powder half a teaspoon of cumin
powder half a teaspoon of red chili
powder for color and I'm also using one
teaspoon of red chili flakes for
spiciness as Mexican rice is a bit on
spicier side then I'm adding one
teaspoon of oregano and about a
tablespoon or two of tomato sauce tomato
sauce is optional but it will really
balance out all the flavors in this dish
mix everything really well until they're
well combined with each other we'll do
not toss for too many times
now we'll add in water so Europe added
one and a half cups of rice so normally
we use 3 cups of water for one and a
half cups of rice that is double the
quantity of the rice but since these
vegetables have enough moisture because
of the tomato puree also because we have
added half a cup of tomato puree we'll
add in little lesser then three cups say
around two and a half cups of water so
to one and a half cups of rice I'm going
to add two and a half cups of water mix
that as well and let it come to a good
boil and then keeping the flame on
medium let it cook further for about
three to four minutes or until you see a
very little water remaining on top do
not cover it with a lid till here and
then after about three to four minutes
when you see a very little water
remaining on top you can see this rice
is almost half done it's not cooked at
all but it's slightly to half done at
this stage we'll add in some more
ingredients or vegetables like INGOs
handful of boiled corns next I'm adding
half a cup of pre boiled and salted
kidney beans also known as rajma next
goes in some spring onions then I'm
using some regular green chilies but if
you get jalapenos you can use that as
well and some fresh coriander give
everything a good mix as these
vegetables are already pre boil it won't
take
much time to cook and without over
mixing it because if you over mix it
will break the rice grains so just mix
it a bit and now let it cook over low
flame covering it with a lid for about 4
to 5 minutes or until it's cooked
through you can check in between after 2
minutes if you feel the water to be
little less then you can sprinkle very
little water and again cook on low flame
for another three to four minutes so
it's been almost 6 minutes
let's remove the lid and check you can
see most of the water is nicely
evaporated it's nice and dry will puff
up and show you all the rice friends
they are fully coated with the flavorful
base and they're quite separated with
each other it's not sticky at all the
veggies are also not overcooked they
still have some bite and crunch in them
you can see this beautiful rice it's
looking so colorful it's perfectly done
we'll switch off the flame and it's
ready to be served hot you can serve it
with some sour cream on the side or if
you want you can also grate some cheese
on top but I'm going to simply serve it
by garnishing it with some more greens
on top and if you want you can also
squeeze some fresh lemon juice if you
prefer doesn't it look lovely we'll just
take a bite with a spoon and show you
how the rice rinse looks from within
it's too good guys it's really moist and
spicy so guys you also try this recipe
