Step 1

Heat a wok or large pan over medium heat and add a bit of oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, turn the heat up to high and toss in the garlic. Cook it for about a minute until fragrant.

Step 2

Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until they turn a nice light golden brown.

Step 3

Stir in the tomato puree and salt. Cook for another minute, then lower the heat a bit and add the powdered spices and tomato ketchup. Give everything a good stir and cook for a minute or two on high heat.

Step 4

Add the veggies and gently stir them in. If it looks too dry, splash in a little water. Cook everything together for 2 to 3 minutes on high heat.

Step 5

Finally, add the boiled rice and mix gently until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 6

Turn off the heat and serve! Enjoy your meal!
