Low Budget Fried Rice

Hello, friends!
Happy Sunday to everyone and happy mother's day to all mothers.
It's another creative Sunday and I am delighted to participate in today's creative Sunday.

For some weeks now I and my foodie son has been craving fried rice. I've been pushing the idea away because I don't have money for anything extra. I love to prepare fried rice with all the orisirisi needed for a special dish. My son would not have it. He kept pressuring me and the more he says it, the more I also crave it.

So, after a very terrible day at the market because of the prices of things that have increased astronomically, I was really dejected. The thought of fried rice didn't come to mind again. But on my way out of the market, I saw carrots so I remembered I wanted to prepare fried rice but I was angry at the turn of events of my visit to the market. I bought some carrots, peas, and kidney beans with the change I have left.

My son was so happy when he saw the ingredients. I told him I would prepare it on Sunday but I was not really excited about it because my ingredients are not complete. At the same time, I thought about cooking it with whatever ingredients I have and with a lot of love in my heart 💜

I called this a low budget Fried rice, but it became the best I've eaten in a long time.
To prepare this, you need,
Rice
Vegetable oil
Green peas
Kidney beans
Carrots
Onions
Eggs
Plantain
Seasoning cubes
Curry
Thyme
Salt

I started by Parboiling the rice, and then, cutting the carrots and onions and I set it aside. I'm supposed to first fry the washed rice in the vegetable oil for some minutes before I cook it but like I said, it's a low budget Fried rice. I just want to prepare it with the vegetables I have. I don't need to have everything before I can improvise as a mother.

After Parboiling the rice, I drain it, and set it aside. I went further to fry my veggies starting with my onion and carrots to the peas and kidney beans. I added my curry powder, thyme, seasoning cubes, salt and pepper. I mixed it will before adding my already parboiled rice to it.

At this point, my battery was really low to take more pictures.

I mixed it up nicely on a very low heat and added a little bit of water to it just to prevent it from burning while steaming. After about five minutes, it was ready and I dropped it and set aside.
I went ahead to fry my plantain and boil the eggs. And that was it. I served the meal and it was so delicious. More delicious than the ones I spent more money and time preparing.
