Broccoli rice is an easy to make dish. So yummy and also colourful with the combination of sweet corn. It is a healthy alternative to the normal fried rice. You can add veggies of your choice when you prepare. I like the sweetness of the sweet corn in the fried rice a lot.  So I am adding sweet corn.You can also add scrambled eggs, if you are making for your kids.

       Fried rice is always an easy to make, one pot meal. Really comes in handy when you are running out of time. And also easy to make rice for kids lunch box. Dry one pot meals are easy to prepare and carry for travel, picnics, the places where we try to avoid messy eating.
