Peppery veg fried rice

Hi, blogging after a long time. After returning to India other priorities in the first few months left me with no time for my laptop . Later on I too became a little lazy not only in typing but cooking too. Everything one craves for is readily available here as comapred to Yerevan where I had no other alternative. my mom too keeps sending sweets very often almost for every smallest occasion or festival &  not to forget about frequent dinners at relatives,', parties etc. So most of the time I cook very simple food at home to keep a balance.Yesterday while browsing I came across a food blog, which reminded me of my own......  feel like writing again .So here's another recipe from my kitchen for all those who like jhatpat cooking like me.
