#boxweek5 - This easy and quick one pot meal is yummy and can be made replacing rice with pasta. I have added some mixed veggies. You may add any other veggies of your choice. This is a kid friendly dish and goes best with some raita and fryums / papad.

It is an ideal after school snack or a lunch box meal. Adults may relish it as breakfast / brunch or as a lunch box meal too. For a vegetarian version, omit the omelette and you are done with a healthy no-frills meal in no time. #biryani
