CAPSICUM RICE

Capsicum rice - a quick and easy rice dish with delicious flavor. This is a pan fried dish and can be made within 20 mins. Pan fried foods always stands out, especially the rice dishes.


I always try to make every rice dish pan fried so i can save my time and still satisfy my taste buds. Pan fried rice dishes tastes totally different from the one cooked in pressure cooker or in one pot.

Capsicum rice is my new try when i had no vegetables other than capsicum and its lunch time and still want to have decent yummy food! The significant ingredient here is dried fenugreek leaves. It totally infuses the food with its aromatic flavor. you can add half cup of fresh peas to make it more delicious. it was not available at home so i couldn't add.

This is just a variant rice recipe from usually made rice dishes. Thank god! Tweaking here and there always works for me! Try this yummy capsicum rice with curd added with just little salt and garam masala!
