For the second day, under mixed rice, I wanted to make fried rice. Whenever mixed rice is mentioned, my mind goes to our south Indian rice varieties. As I have blogged about most of the varieties I know, I thought of making fried rice as this also falls under the same category. Recently, my daughter has taken a great liking to Indo-Chinese dishes. So I find it great to make fried rice, manchurian or any noodles dish.
I mostly keep the base recipe same and just vary the ingredients to make different fried rice varieties. I used sautéed crumbled paneer to give it the egg fried rice look. And I also served Honey Sesame Chilly Potatoes along with the fried rice. It was a hearty and filling lunch that day. I have a pot of spring onions and whenever I make fried rice, I use my home grown spring onions. It surely gives a great satisfaction.

Cooked Rice – 2 – 3 cups
Oil – 2 tbs + 1 tsp
Crumbled Paneer – 1 cup

Add all the sauces, vinegar, salt and pepper powder.
Cook until the carrots are soft.
Add the paneer and rice and mix on high flame until well combined.
