Street style Veg Fried Rice

 Just like pulav, I am struggling to get that THE flavor of fried rice that’s available in Indo Chinese restaurants. Every time I see a recipe with slightest difference than what I’ve tried before, I try again. 

So did this particular recipe pass my taste test? It kinda did, but not 100%. But to be fair, this is supposed to be street style fried rice(which I’ve never tasted), not restaurant style, and also I didn’t stick to the recipe 100%. This recipe is very close to what I want to achieve. This gives me a good base to work upon. 

This recipe is from a Chef Ranveer Brar(link given below).

Do try!
