1 1/2 cups basmati rice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 cups vegetable stock or 3 cups water
4 ounces sweet corn (2/3 cup)
1/2 red bell peppers or 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion for a few minutes over a moderate heat until soft.
Add the rice and stir-fry for about 10 minutes, taking care to keep stirring all the time so that the rice doesn't stick to the pan.

Scatter the corn over the rice, then spread the pepper on top and lastly sprinkle over the grated carrot.
