Its been a while we had some rice varities to the list 😉  I made vegetable biriyani a couple of times but I forget to click pictures always 😞. Couple of weeks back I made vegetable fried rice and without fail I clicked pictures also. So here it is.... I like all fried rice varieties ... egg, chicken, pineapple. After coming  to the US hubby took me to a dinner date to a Thai Restaurant ,that was the first time I tried pineapple fried rice. I loved it 😍. Haven’t tried pineapple fried rice yet, will try and post soon. Vegetable fried rice is a very simple and easy recipe to try. You just have to assemble all ingredients and have to add one by one. Give it a try and share your feedback 👍. Okay then let’s get started.
