Egg Fried Rice

This is one of my the most favorite foods. Back in India, my sister and me would almost eat it everyday. We had a fast food restaurant close to home and we gave good business to them. After moving to US, I really missed the fried rice that I had in India. The rice we get in chinese restaurants were definetely not the same. In due course, I got accustomed to that taste also. For sometime I was doing the fried rice the chinese way. But soon I got tired of it. Then one day I went to an indian-chinese restaurant and had chicken fried rice. It was awesome and tasted similar to the one we have in India. After that I figured out the recipe and started doing it at home. Since then it is our family favorite.
