Chicken Chilli and Egg Fried Rice- Desi Style
Chicken Chilli and Egg Fried Rice- Desi Style
Chicken Chilli served with Egg Fried is a very popular Desi Chinese duo dish. Chicken Chilli is quite spicy and flavourful. You may have it dry or gravy style. I prefer the Gravy style since my family loves to have rice dishes with lots of gravy. There are various vegetables that can be used in the Egg Fried rice. I prefer using peas, cabbage, carrots, capsicums and spring onions. When it comes to Desi Chinese I don't like to over cook the vegetables as I like them to be crunchy while eating. Hence for my Desi Chinese recipes, I don't overcook the vegetables.Do try this Recipe at home, as it is quite simple and you will definitely enjoy the Desi yet Asian Flavours of this dish.
