Bangladeshi Fried Rice

While this looks simple and basic, and it is, it’s honestly one of the best fried rice recipes that I’ve eaten. With rice being the main staple in Bangladesh, it is eaten with every meal, including breakfast. Add in vegetables, chicken, or sausage to the rice to make this a main course.
