  5. In a large non stick pan, add olive oil. add the onion, sugar and salt. On medium heat keep sauteeing for 5-7 minutes until it is dark golden brown and sweet. Take it out and set aside.
  6. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil and add the sliced garlic and chillies. On medium to low heat, saute and crisp it for about 2-3 minutes. Take it out and set aside.
  7. Take a large bottomed non stick pan, add 2 tbsp oil. Let it get hot. Add the cumin seeds, let it pop and brown for a little bit. Add the broccoli, carrots, bell pepper and saute it with salt. Toss and keep cooking. This will take only about 2-3 minutes. Once the veggies is cooked to your liking, add the rice, pepper and carefully toss and coat everything and cook for 2 minutes.
