KFC Veg Rice Bowlz recipe

As I had mentioned in my KFC Veg strips recipe post, my daughter Raksha is a big fan of KFC recipes. After trying veg strips recipe successfully,my next target was KFC’s Veg Rice bowlz. Rice bowlz is nothing but Indian style Layered biryani made with flavored rice & gravy. I was looking for a copycat recipe & I found it here.  I tried it twice by making small changes. It came out really well and tasted close to the KFC ones ( not 100%). 

Yesterday I made rice bowls along with KFC Veg stripsFrench fries and Veggie burger recipes for our Sunday special lunch. Raksha and Sendhil enjoyed it a lot. I felt very happy that I was able to make Restaurant style Lunch menu at home. Friends do try this recipe if you love KFC stuffs. I am sure you will make it more often in your kitchen. Lets see how to make the most popular KFC Veg Rice Bowlz Recipe with stepwise pictures in my Sunday Lunch Recipe series 26.

Updated (12-8-2015 ):  Luckily I had a kitchen tour in KFC this afternon with my school moms friends. I got the chance to see the making of zinger burger patties & rice bowls. I have shared those points in the method section in a bracket. So the stepwise recipes and the points mentioned have some slight variations. Soon I will try to match the pics with method.

Yes sis but pre preparation can reduce the time taken by the process at a stretch :) So if u plan to make this menu,make the dough for burger patties,veg strips and french fries the previous day and make the recipes the next day :) Do share ur feedback if u try :)
