Egg Fried Rice


Fried rice always means to me my native hometown's Calicut tower Hotel's savor. Me and my friends rarely go out ie. like once in 3 to 4 mnths and we eat out from this hotel after a movie. We share one fried rice in our first order. And if we feel necessary will go for the second order. TO be frank i was so stringent in spending money for food. I save them for other needs.The fried rice i had from there always visits my mouth and mind with the eagerness to cook and get the same flavor. And last time when i went there with my friend i knew the chef has changed and the flavor too. But none than the other i am here with my experiment which came out so successful and i want to share it with my friends on the other end reading this and trying it out.
