May 16th is LiveStrong Day, a day to raise awareness about cancer survivors organized by Lance Armstrong Foundation. There are many ways to get involved, Barbara of WinosAndFoodies has organized a blog event for us food bloggers to be a part of this day. This brave lady is a cancer survivor herself, and she has urged the food bloggers to cook an yellow dish to show our support and to spread the word about LiveStrong Day.
LIVESTRONG Day is the Lance Armstrong Foundation’s (LAF) grassroots advocacy initiative to unify people affected by cancer and to raise awareness about cancer survivorship issues on a national level and in local communities across the country. LIVESTRONG Day 2007 will occur on Wednesday, May 16.
This simple yellow fried rice with sweet corn and turmeric is my entry for Barbara’s Taste of Yellow event. Turmeric, contrary to popular belief is used for its medicinal values rather than as a taste enhancer in Indian cooking. Turmeric is a strong antiseptic and has excellent antibacterial properties. In India, turmeric is also used as a cosmetic, a face mask made of fresh turmeric paste is supposed to make your face glow! Consuming turmeric also helps in the beauty department by cleansing the body of toxins and reducing water retention, leaving you with a slim and toned body.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup cooked Basmati rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced onions
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen sweet corn
- 1/4 cup green peas
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Method
