Egg fried rice goes best with raita on its own. Throw in a few pieces of fried chicken pieces such as tandoori or similar, it will make a graet combination. If you must have chicken curry try with plain fried rice.
What is the Soy sauce doing here? The Indian spices and Soy sauce are mutually destructive, leaving behind a tasteless by-product. A culinary Jugalbandi ending in a dead discordant note.
Anon 01:35 - Thanks for your comments. I am not sure I would agree with your comment on the combination of soy sauce and indian spices leading to a destructive tasteless product. It also depends on the type of soy sauce one uses.
