Who doesn’t like simple, healthy, tasty lunch box recipe? My kids looks forward to Sunday lunch as I normally do one pot meal.

Oil – 2 teaspoon
Method:
Heat the oil in the pan. Add Onion and garlic. Fry till they are slight brown in color. Add mushroom and green chillies. Fry till Mushroom is just cooked ( about 10 mins) Add basil leaves, salt. Fry till the leaves wilt. Add pepper powder, peanut powder. Mix well. Add Lemon Juice and mix it. Add cooked rice. Mix well. Switch it off.
