Notes

In a typical Fried rice that is part of the Indo Chinese cuisine, cumin seeds are not added.
The rice that is made today was just ghee rice that was part of the non vegetarian meal as well. Didn't want to make two different rice dishes. Normally when you make fried rice, the rice is cooked with just salt.
Even though I added green chilies in three different stages, the final dish wasn't so spicy. so you can adjust as per your taste.
