Any leftover rice can be made use of. Enjoy this yummy Seaweed fried rice just as it is, with some extra sauce as accompaniment, with grilled meat / fish, any side dish or with raita. So check out a quick step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this healthy concoction.
Seaweed contains a lot of nutrients, minerals, iodine, calcium, is low in calories and helps in purifying the blood. So it is recommended for a balanced diet. Besides fried rice, you can dish out various recipes with it.
It is widely used by the Japanese, Koreans and the Chinese in their cuisines. As I had some last batch of these roasted seaweed (nori) sheets, I decided to incorporate them in the fried rice along with some veggies.

- 15 small roasted seaweed (nori) sheets, cut into small pieces

- 1/2 tsp. roasted cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp. garam masala powder
- 1/2 tsp. red chili powder
