This one pot gem is perfect for your weeknight dinners. This is a super quick and easy recipe too. What do you think can better than this?

In this recipe, I have added only soy sauce and some vinegar to flavour the rice. That’s because, I have let the chorizo work all its flavoursome magic here.

While I have added some veggies also to my rice fried rice, it is optional. Since I love them, they are generally, a part of my rice recipes. And this spicy fried rice also happens to be one of my favourites. The chorizo is the hero of this dish. It is the spice and the flavours in it, that bring about the taste of the rice. However, I have also added some Sriracha to up the heat levels. But again, you can totally do without it as well.

Moreover, you could also use Goan sausages for this recipe. In fact, when in Mumbai, I would make this rice with it. And, I totally loved it.
