    Black pepper-to taste

    For veges:

    For mayo:mix together cream and mayo till combined.
    For layering:in a large shallow dish layer half of the rice.thentop it with veges,chicken,mayo and French fries.make sure you spread it properly all over the rice.now again layer it with the remaking rice.cover properly and then top with the rest of the veges,chicken,mayo and fries.

    Tip:never mix everything together with the rice cause it doesn't the taste the same when you do that.layering is what makes it taste so good :)
