Nasi goreng or Indonesian fried rice recipe is a popular rice dish in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.It was in my try list for long time.I took this recipe from a magazine.I had already tried chinese style”
Chilli garlic fried rice”which is a hit recipe in my blog.So i confidently tried this recipe too.This is a very simplified recipe and may not be the authentic one.I compared this recipe with some of the vegetarian nasi goreng recipes on net,modified it and prepared for sunday lunch along with tomato soup.We had a nice international lunch menu at home
. I used shallow fried tofu and spring onions as per the magazine recipe.For variations and make it more healthy,u can also add thinly sliced vegetables.Do try this recipe with ur variations this weekend.Have a happy meal
.
It is often served with various sides like fresh vegetables such as lettuce, sliced cucumber, and sliced tomatoes. But i served it with plain tomato sauce.It tasted simply yummy !

METHOD
- Wash and soak the basmati rice for 30 minutes.Pressure cook it adding 3/4 cup of water and a drop of oil.Remove and spread in a plate.Rice should cool completely and should be fluffy. Grind all the ingredients to make a smooth paste.
 - Chop the onions and garlic cloves finely.Cube cut tofu into small pieces and shallow fry in 2 tbsp of oil. Remove in a tissue and set aside.
- In a kadai,heat gingely oil and saute the onions,garlic cloves and the ground paste.Saute till the raw smell leaves completely.
- Now add the cooked rice,soya sauce and mix well.Finally add the shallow fried tofu pieces and toss well.Garnish with spring onions and serve hot !
NOTE -
U can use the combination of brown rice and regular rice to get the reddish brown colored rice. -
U can replace tofu by mixed vegetables.The original recipe called for deep frying tofu.But i shallow fried it.As i had cut the tofu into big pieces,i felt the masalas din’t infuse well inside tofu.So i feel , making small pieces would help.
