RICE Recipes

All of us have leftover rice in fridge, especially if you have rice on a regular basis. You can try various recipes to use up this rice using different vegetables or even egg, chicken, fish or any other meat with the flavours you like, whether it be Indian, Asian or Continental.

I would like to share with you some of the recipes I have tried inspired from my family and friends.
