What is Indo Chinese Fried Rice?

Veg Fried Brown Rice is essentially Indian Chinese cuisine, hence Indian flavors with Chinese cooking style. For this particular type of fried rice, you can add any combination of your favorite veggies, along with soy sauce, red chili sauce, and vinegar.

Can I use White Rice instead of Brown Rice?

Sure. For health reasons, I prepared my fried rice with basmati brown rice, however feel free to use white rice. Just make sure you cook the white rice for 5 minutes on High Pressure in the Instant Pot.

What should I serve with Indo Chinese Fried Rice?

Any Indo-Chinese dish works with this type of fried rice. I recommend my Chili Tofu and Vegetable Hakka Noodles.

    Another fantastic dish by Nisha!
    The tips about overnight rice / soaking etc all are very helpful.

    I used what I had – corn and string beans – and it still came out excellent!

    Loved the fried rice! It paired nicely with the chili tofu recipe. I loved how brown rice is used so it’s healthier. The flavors were spot on and the recipe was easy to follow! My husband loved it as well!

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
