Bagaara Khaana
Fried Rice (Indian Style)
Bagaara Khaana is an indian style fried rice, it goes amazingly well with Aloo Gosht ka qorma or Chicken qorma. Rich in flavor and comes a close second to biryani, when it comes to making something special on fridays. We make this even at daawats (parties) at times, and its always a hit among all young and old. You can drizzle some ghee once its cooked for delicious aroma and taste.
