Use up the leftover rice or grains to make this quick spiced fried rice.
Ready in 30 Minutes! We don’t eat a lot of plain rice in my house but I always make a little bit every week just so we can make some quick fried rice as a last minute lunch option!
Use up the leftover rice or grains and the assorted vegetables in the fridge. I serve these with spiced turmeric raita. Raita is a kind of a dip made with yogurt which is salted and spiced with cumin.
Make this with your favorite spices and let me know in the comments how it worked out!
I love this completely
Look at the lovely colors!
So delicious

Sounds delish! Please clarify the 1/4 chili powder (?) and when to add it.
