Veg Fried Rice

Veg Fried Rice

Came home from office and had decided not to cook anything today. Wanted to finish the left-over rice from yesterday and also the herekai saru was waiting in the refrigerator. Veggies of small proportiones were sitting in the refrigerator. So why not fry them quickly and mix with the rice. I had to do this before R comes home. He feels the exhausted, if I am cooking, can you believe that!!. Kind of gives him the feeling that there is work at home too.. :)

So finished cooking my fast version of veg fried rice in 25 mins, packed chapathis for tomorrow's lunch and cleaned up the sink, so he wont know I did anything today. But I could not get rid of the garlic and stir fry aroma of this recipe. He walked in directly to kitchen to check whats on the stove. I was caught again in action :).
