My 49th recipe "Spicy Asian Fried Rice", a delicious entree to spice yourself up on a cold winter day. Though I love the regular paneer fried rice I make, on cold and rainy days like today, I particularly crave for a more spicy dish. This spicy asian fried rice with red chilli and other asian sauces is perfect to warm me up from inside. I generally don't buy veggies like capsicum, brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc. But when I do buy, I make sure that I give them their due respect. Just throw them along with some rice and asian sauces and you will watch them magically get transformed into this fancy fried rice. A treat for your eye as well as your tummy 🙂 Don't get intimidated by the color of the dish. You can easily control the spiciness level by avoiding the asian hot sauce or going light on the red chillies 😉
