KFC Veg Rice Bowlz is complete meal in a Bowl  filled with aromatic Basmati Rice, Flavorful Gravy and some Crunchy Veg Strips. Well, I am not a fan of fast food and I really never liked KFC before but while on a trip to Goa I tried this at Kolhapur Highway and since then, I have become fan of KFC. I must say KFC has improved allot in last few years and have brought complete Indian touch to its menu in India.

After we returned from the long trip, we couldn’t forget our wonderful experience at KFC. After giving it some thought, I decided to make KFC Veg Rice Bowlz at home and I started experimenting with rice in my own kitchen. While it is not possible to get perfection and taste of KFC Veg strips at home, I was able to make rice with nearly same taste and flavor. Later, I decided to add my own version of Veg strip which tasted really good with these rice.

While it is not possible to get perfection and taste of KFC Veg strips at home, I was able to make rice with nearly same taste and flavor.

Now this dish has become favorite of my family and sometimes I cook it at the time of lunch for having some variety in my menu. Rice is one of India’s favorite meals and here gravy gives it a touch of Indian Curry. Veg strips are like a side dish, but the Bowlz is completed only when I top it with my fried and crunchy veg strips. Here is the recipe for you, please do let us know how it turned out for you in comment section below.
