Veg fried rice, this is one dish that needs no introduction, and indeed it finds a place in every menu – from the street-side to five-star eateries! cooked rice combined with neatly cut juliennes of veggies and tossed in soya sauce. Since it’s a little on the blander side, you can aptly serve with chilli sauce. Goes well with vegetable manchurian.

Good with lots of vegetables. Celery can be made 1/4 cup. To make it spicy, add red chilli garlic chutney or schezuan sauce. white pepper powder 1/2 tsp is good.
