On most days, I end up making a simple vegetable rice recipe which is mixed rice with some vegetables and minimum spices. It's an easy one pot meal option for bachelors (and bachelorettes like me) who don't want to spent too much time in the kitchen or don't have fancy equipment to cook. This recipe is a standard one I use on most weekends with minimum variations.

This vegetable rice is easy and very flavourful. I had it with papad and raita.
It was Saturday, a break after a hectic week. I had carrots and beans in the fridge, and a packet of frozen peas. Was too tired to go grocery shopping so decided to make do with rice with vegetables in it. Simple and nutritious lunch.
