Capsicum Rice- A easy ,quick and delicious rice preparation made with cooked rice and bell peppers

Capsicum Rice is a very easy and delicious rice recipe. This capsicum rice can also be made by using left over rice. You can make it for main course or pack in lunch boxes. It can be made in just 15 minutes if you have already cooked steamed rice or left over rice.If you don’t have leftover rice then make rice you normally make and then spread in a plate to cool down. When the rice come to room temperature then use it to make capsicum rice.

I have used tri colour bell peppers but you can make it with any kind of pepper available at home. It is mild and delicious and a complete meal so you don’t need any side dishes with it. If you want you can serve some raita ,yogurt ,chutney and papad with it.

You can add some vangi bhath masala or sambhar masala in it to make it more flavorful. If making for kids then you can make it plain simple with just a dash of lemon juice in it. It taste awesome either ways. You can also add some cashew and peanuts in the tempering if your kids like having nuts in their pulao.
