Burnt Garlic fried rice is very easy to make and they are very good for party dishes. For this recipe, the vegetables and garlic are chopped finely. I have used normal rice for this recipe but you could use basmati rice as well.

For this recipe, the cooked rice should be cool and refrigerated for some time so that the grains are well separated and firm. One can use the overnight refrigerated leftover rice for this recipe. Either white vinegar or rice vinegar can be added, but I didn't use it for this recipe. It's up to you. Serve this burnt garlic fried rice with tomato ketchup or any Indo-Chinese side dishes or as it is.
