I have moved to a new city again and as expected the first few days were super hectic and disorganized. In between this chaos and slogging I have had bouts of nostalgia too. Till you settle in your new house and it transforms to a home it is bound to continue.
On one such lovely romp down the memory lane I started thinking about food, restaurant which left me ravenous.
So with the limited pantry supplies I had to make something that is simple, fresh at the same time filling. Since I had a bunch of fresh spring onions I decided to make fried rice (south Indian restaurant style yea ... Indo-chinese).
It is just chopped veggies tossed with pepper and rice. To get good fried rice, rice has to be cooked to perfection. They should be firm , separate and not sticky. You can use any rice but I prefer basmati.

5. Remove from heat and DIG IN !!!
