#140 Mexican Fusion Tricolored Huevos Rice

We love both Mexican and Indian food. So why  not combine the two and make a fusion dish that satisfies both tastes in one meal. Have you heard about butter chicken burritos or tandoori chicken tostadas? I never stop with any experiment on food that goes two ways venturing into the era of Fusion food!! There are many versions of Mexican Fusion rice recipes but this one is a Mexican rice with an Indian Twist. A fried egg on top reminds me of a Huevos Rancheros with the ranch egg on top. The oeey goeey egg yolk runs all over the spiced rice and one spoonful excites your taste buds to no end!! Just make sure to stir up a large batch of rice and fry enough eggs to go around the table:)







INGREDIENTS

Basmati rice, boiled and cooled 3 cups
Oil 1 1/2 tablespoon
Egg 1 (per serving)
Garlic 15 clove
Onion , finely chopped 1

Sriracha or chili sauce- 1 tablespoon

4. To serve, fill a bowl or mould with rice as tight as you can and then invert onto a plate
5. Gently remove the bowl or mould, place a fried egg on top and serve immediately garnished with cilantro and mexican chilli powder.

  10. You know, there's something about pictures of specific foods which make me instantly hungry. Fried eggs are one of these things! A beautiful, perfectly cylindrical shape of delicately spiced rice, with the egg on top. Looks too perfect to even put the fork into!
