This egg fried rice Indian style is the perfect lunch or dinner for any day. If you are planning to cook this for a special occasion, pair it with your favorite Indo Chinese side dish. You can find a bunch of side dish ideas here.

I love the fact that this egg fried rice is extremely simple to make, and it’s ready in just under 30 minutes. And that’s if you need to make it from scratch. On the other hand, if you already have leftover rice, 15 minutes is all you need to whip up a delicious meal.

To make this fried rice nutritious, I added plenty of vegetables like bell peppers (capsicums), green beans and carrots. Other good choices for this fried rice include corn, green peas and bean sprouts. Don’t forget to garnish it with lots and lots of spring onions.
