3. Make sure nothing burns given that you are cooking in high heat. Keep stirring, this whole things should take around 30-40 seconds.

4. Next, add the rice. Stir until combined, Stir for the flavours to combine. Make sure you don’t stir it too much because the rice will break.

5. Serve the Vegetable Rice with Chicken Manchurian or any other gravy.

Note :

You want the vegetables to be cooked but still crunchy which is why it is important to chop the vegetables into small pieces (and also keep them uniform in size).

Can also add Soya Sauce it’s your choice I don’t use.

Can also add chicken, egg along with vegetable.
