Today’s recipe is simple yet filling one pot meal that you can take it either for lunch or dinner. The post title says spicy though my kids liked it without any hesitation. If your kids says spicy you can add a tsp of ghee in thier rice to substle the spiceness or reduce red chili flakes in the following recipe. You can taste this rice as it is, anyways kids likes to have it with ketch up and if you get time do prepare onion raita which also goes well with this fried rice.
