Vegetable Fried Rice Recipe

This is an Eid special fried rice with richness of fruits and vegetables. This is a healthy dish since i didn’t use any ghee to prepare. For celebrations we used to make this with the combination of  salad and chilly chicken. You can add your choice of vegetables like mushrooms,baby corn. This is a popular Indo- Chinese recipe. To add flavor and good smell i added celery so that it will be tempting.
