Sunday Sizzler: Veg Momos, Garlic Fried Rice and Pan Tossed Veggie Combo Recipe

I really enjoy sizzlers at restaurant, but recreating same at home was challenging since there is a lot of prep which goes into preparing a perfect sizzler. Since this was my first attempt I used only a group of veggies which can be altered and used in different ways like, pan tossed and filling for momos.
