This time on Bengali New year we decided to try some new food.So we went to a restaurant near Seven Bunglows ,Andheri in Mumbai named “Dimsum”.We had Khao pad rice with Honkong chilly chicken over Dinner in the same restaurant.While the flavours are still fresh I wanted to cook the dish once so made it the next day with a side dish of prawns.
It is a Thai style stir fried rice typical of central Thai cuisine .In Thai, khao means “rice” and phat means stir fried
