Spanish Rice

This is one of the dishes my Bhabhi Heena Johari excels in...I simply simply love it and I can have 4-5 servings of it without even feeling guilty.
Well I have learnt the recipe from her but I still love it more when she cooks it for me.
So here is one of Johari's favourite!!!

INGREDIENTS
3 cups Basmati rice (partialy boiled)
2 cups Chicken (boilded and shreded)
2 cups Chicken stock
1 cup Sweetcorn (boiled)
1 Carrot (diced and boiled)
10-15 French beans (chopped and boiled)
1 Capcicum ( diced )
5 Tomatoes (chopped)
1 Onion ( finely chopped )
3 tbspn Garlic (chopped )
2 tbspn Green chillies (chopped )
1 tbspn Black pepper powder
1 tbspn Mixed herbs
3 Eggs ( scrambled)
5 tbspn olive oil
Spring onions to garnish

METHOD
Step1 -In a high wall vessel add the chicken stock and bring it to boil, add in the partially boiled Basmati rice and cover the vessel with aluminum foil and let it simmer on low heat for 15 - 20 mins.
Step2 -In a pan heat oil and stir fry the carrots and beans, remove it in a bowl.
Step3 - In the same oil stir fry the chicken and remove it in a bowl.

Step5-Now add in the chopped tomatoes and salt, stir and cook on high flame till the tomato mix has almost dried up.
Step6-At this point add in all the vegetables (carrots, beans, corns and capcicum) and chicken, give it all a quick mix and let it simmer on low heat for 15 mins with the lid on.
Step7-Now add in the salt, pepper powder, ajinomotto and mixed herbs.Cover and cook for another 5 mins.
