Past few days were busy and hectic. I hardly found time to stop and relax. Sometimes things at home keep us more busier than we think off. My last visit to native was little hectic as we got trapped by the worst flood’s hitting Andhra in years. When we started to return from there the scene I saw on the either sides of the roads was very terrible. People with no shelter, no food, no clothes, no money and no medication even the same with animals. Water is fully contaminated and dreadful diseases on full swing. I don’t know how long it may take for the people to come up with all that shock and start a fresh new life. Relief operations are going on…but…to regain hope and strength and to start a new beginning is a act of braveness.
Coming back to today’s recipe vegetables studded egg friend rice is a wholesome and salubrious one pot meal. You either pack this for lunch or relish it as a brunch on one of those really lazy weekends. Just by adding handful of parboiled veggies, a simple egg fried rice is given a new look and new taste. Try this colorful and delectable veggies studded egg friend rice for a change.
