PEPPER CAPSICUM RICE

I have already posted the recipe for capsicum rice. Here I give another version of capsicum rice which is much simple and do not need any pre preparation. Whole garam masala, capsicum and pepper powder and that's it. Give it a try.

INGREDIENTS

Raw rice                       1 cup
Water                            2 cups
Salt                               to taste
Capsicum                     1/2 cup chopped
Pepper powder             1/2 tsp
Whole garam masala     -
Oil                                2 Tsp
Fried onions                  2 Tsp(optional)

PROCEDURE

Cook the rice with 2 cups of water, whole garam masala(bay leaf, peppers, cloves, cinnamon) and a little bit of salt.
Spread the rice on a plate and let cool completely.
Now heat add oil in a pan and add the chopped capsicum. Add a little bit of salt and fry for 2-3 minutes. The pieces should not loose the crunch.
Now add the cooked rice and the pepper powder. Add fried onions if you prefer.
Toss well and serve hot with any mild curry and raita.
