Chicken fried rice and Zeera rice fused together to create an awesome combo. An extremely delicious and perfect dish for any parties. It's a lovely fried rice with Chicken as the main ingredient with a lovely twist of Zeera (Cumin) being added by me, thereby taking it to an altogether different level. A sumptuous treat to all the non-veg lovers out there. The heavenly smell of Cumin in this rice makes it an amazing treat for everyone and is a perfect lunchtime meal or an excellent dinner idea as well. Veggies can be omitted if desired and only Chicken and Cumin along with the spices can be used. It has an Indian touch to it thus making it an innovative alternative to the famous Fried Rice recipe.

Happy Cooking Everyone!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
