As usual i have prepared this rice with loads of colourful veggies which were laying in my fridge , with few chunks of paneer cheese but simmered in freshly pureed tomato sauce..Usually i used to prepare these sort of variety rice since its really very quick, fulfilling, delicious,also suits prefectly as lunch box menu also healthy since this sort of rice goes for variety of veggies, so needless to say this sort of mixed vegetable rice attracts very easily picky eaters who doesnt like veggies at all...this is my way to feed my familly members, since i have picky eater at home also when i serve this sort of variety rice , sometimes i wont even prepare any side dish...So its really very easily to finish all our left over veggies laying in our fridge, also now am adding soya chunks to my variety rice or else paneer chunks just to make much more delicious!!...
