ngredients
Shredded chicken         :  500 gms
Carrots                         :  200 gms sliced as in for fried rice

Eggs                            :  4 nos
Beans                          : 200 gms chopped for fried rice
Mushroom                    : 100 gms sliced

Green Peas                  :  50 gms
salt                              : to taste
pepper                         : 1/2 tsp
oil                                : refined oil as per needed
Oregano
rosemary
basil 
chilly flakes
crushed pepper
thyme                           : as per your taste
Basmati Rice long grain  : 1 KG cooked

Method
Boil the chicken with salt & pepper. once it is cooked use the fork to shred it. keep a wok in the flame. add a bit oil. once it is done add the shredded chicken saute it along with the spices. add the eggs too. keep this aside once done.
now in a separate wok add oil to fry the vegetables. once the oil is heated add the onions fry till it is translucent. then add the carrots, saute with a bit of salt. add the beans, cabbage, peas(frozen is the best) then later capsicum. then add the done chicken along with this mixture. saute well to get this mixed. 

now we should cook the Basamti rice in microwave so that it doesnt over gel.
then add the rice along with our chicken vegetables mixture. ( we cold also use the last days left over white rice for this preparation. but i used the immediate cooked. our chigyata is ready to serve with any sauce as you please. even with lijjat pappad or achar.
