This recipe can be prepared with left over rice also. Vegetables can be cooked in microwave. Cut the vegetables into small pieces, sprinkle a handful of water and microwave it for one to two seconds. Capsicum need not be cooked.
You can also make this rice in microwave oven itself. First cook the vegetables in microwave as above. In another microwave proof vessel, put the oil (you can also use butter instead of oil) and add mustard, cinnamon, cloves and microwave it for half minute. Then add chopped onion and microwave it for few more seconds. Take out the vessel and add all the others ingredients including cooked rice and mix well. Microwave it for one to two seconds or according to your microwave power setting.
When you are doing it in a microwave, you can omit mustard, because sometimes if the mustard is over fried, it will give bitter taste.
