Veg Fried Rice

What would you name a dish that is super healthy and can be made quickly and packed for lunch and which the kids would relish a lot? Yes, it's the Veg Fried Rice. Loaded with lots of fresh vegetables, this is a divine food, I would say. And using fresh spring onions that I grew in my very own garden makes it even more awesome.

Veg Fried Rice and Dal Fry, I know it's not a great combination, but that's how my kids would prefer it. Today I would post on Veg Fried Rice.
