Nornally i make vegetable fried rice for kids lunch box and pack with plain raitha or some store bought chips. But my daughter always insist me to make Gobi Manchurian or Vegetable manchurian to accompany the Vegetable Fried rice. . But for me it is very difficult to make the elaborate manchurian on a weekday mornings. When we tasted Schezwan fried rice few weeks back in a restaurant we all liked it and i have noted down in my to do list to make this recipe. Yes , now a days i am little organised and planning my menu ahead and kept a list of items to be blogged this year and planning accordingly. Coming to the recipe, i first wanted to post the recipe of home made schezwan sauce and i adapted the recipe from a cook book of Sanjeev Kapoor.

The schezwan fried rice which i made with the home made schezwan sauce doesn’t need any accompaniment and both the kids liked it.
INGREDIENTS( FOR 3/4 CUP SAUCE)
