Spicy Basil Fried Rice

Indian style Chinese or Hakka Chinese as it is known across North America is my favorite cuisine. Starting with the basic, I love making Spicy Basil Fried Rice and Manchurian with gravy. Full of flavor, this rice preparation is high on heat, but you can personalize it as per your taste.
