Vegetable Fried Rice with leftover rice or pre-cooked rice
While pondering tonight’s dinner options, I realized I had a stash of cooked rice on hand that needed to be used up. Faced with the prospect of preparing chapatis and two curries, I opted for a simple rice dish with mixed vegetables and a pinch of biryani spices. This savory creation became our delicious and nutritious dinner, ideal for lunches, dinner, or even packed in a lunchbox. I hope you enjoyed this recipe, and please subscribe to our channel (embedded video included).
