Fried rice is a recipe in which the steamed rice is stir fried in a pan after mixing with either eggs, meat or vegetables. I learnt this recipe from one of my friends. Usually for biriyani and pulao we cook the vegetables and rice together. But for the fried rice, we pressure cook the rice and then stir fry it with the vegetables. The main advantage that I find in this recipe is we can prepare the vegetables separately and can stir fry it with the rice five minutes before we serve.
