Brown Basmati Fried Rice

Reading about Brown Basmati Rice got me curious; and had my friend Lakshmi send me some. The event at Siri's blog Pavani's post got me excited and I finally got down to making it.My son has been asking me to cook some non-vegetarian dish for lunch; I hardly cook any. Her recipe was easy and sounded do-able. Only thing i did in my over enthusiasm was to boil the egg, and...

There was only one at home. So, it was Veg Fried Rice.

The nutty texture of the rice is very similar to our Kavuniarisi, a sweet dish from Chettinad. The Fried Rice was colourful and attractive.
