Thai Veg Fried Rice

Generally the fried rice is most common dish in Thai /Chinese cuisine. The fried rice what we get in (Chenani) parotta stalls are completely different.That is dry, but also tasty when having it with chilli & tomato sauce.Once i had this Yellow Lake Curry Fried Rice in Thai restaurant that tasted so good.And then i tried making it home.The secret ingredient in this dish is the red curry paste and fish sauce.I tried making without fish sauce(Vegetarian Fried rice) and was very tasty too.

Here's  Thai(my) style fried rice,
