  I had to participate in huge food fair  held by our thindu's school parents association... there was a so many  verities of Maldivian traditional foods.dessert, rice dishes, source and pickle items, specially barbecue fish, octopus and lobsters.

 I also wanted to make some srilankan traditional dish,but didn't have  enough time to make what i wanted.I prepared srilankan style fried rice with  deviled chicken dish.

surprise .... I couldn't  keep my dish on our nursery section stall for a long time. within 20 minutes time  my dish was disappeared. can you imagine  how happy i am.....

Ingredients:

here's all you'll need: cooked and cold basmati rice , grated carrots, leeks, onion,eggs,ginger garlic paste, shreded  fried chicken,salt and pepper,butter or vegetable oil, few cashew nuts and raisins.(not pictured)

             

Direction:

1. prepare all the ingredients and keep a side.
2. in a  large wok, heat the oil/butter.add raw cashew nuts and raisins , drain with spotted spoon and set a side. add ginger garlic paste.add onion and fry it until golden brown.
3. now add raw chicken,( if you use) and fry it. don't fry too much.
4. add eggs and scramble it.
