Vegetable rice can be eaten solely or with chicken/ mutton curry. I like all types of rice recipes, be it biryani, pilau, khabsa or fried rice. This vegetable rice is one of my all time favorite that my mum used to make with chicken curry. The combination of this rice and curry is just magical, you have to try to believe :)
It is quick and easy, healthy and is ready to be served in no time. Green beans, carrots and peas are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, great if you are on a diet plan.
Kids love the colourful rice and thru this recipe you can make them eat the nutritious vegetables too.
