VEGETABLE FRIED RICE

I am becoming very lazy these days, I keep on sitting in front of the computer, but I didn’t write up any post or edit pictures too. Finally, I decided to post today, and started. Vegetable fried rice is my most favorite and I used to order vegetable fried rice with chili Gobi. I knew, kids would definitely love the simple yet tasty fried rice with colorful veggies. I don’t have capsicum and spring onions, if available for you, use it. Its less spicy, so kids will empty the bowl easily and it is one of the favorites to my sister’s daughter.
