Colorful Capsicum Rice

Mixed Capsicum Rice/Colorful Capsicum Rice, another regular recipe in my home. Whenever i go for Grocery shopping, i tried to pick a pack of these Colorful n Nutritious Veggies. Kuttu loves these Mixed pack of Capsicums.

They make a wonderful Lunch Box recipe with Rice/Roti. Once done, this spicy curry makes an Awesome Combo with Roti's/Idly/Dosa too. You can make the same recipe with simple Green capsi's too. But for the sake of this lovely color i try to make them with Mixed Colorful Bell peppers.

Ingredients

3 Cups Cooked Rice

4 Medium Bell Peppers (preferably in different colors), thinly sliced

1 Medium sized Onion, Finely Chopped

1 small Tomato, chopped or 1 teaspoon Tomato paste

1 green chili, slited lengthwise

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon Red Chili powder

1 teaspoon Coriander powder

½ teaspoon Garam Masala Powder

1 teaspoon Grated Fresh Ginger

Fresh Coriander leaves for garishing

Salt to taste

Tempering

1 tablespoon Gingely Oil/Groundnut Oil (i prefer Groundnut, for its unique aroma)

½ teaspoon Mustard seeds

¼ tsp hing

a Sprig of Curry Leaf

Method

Heat Oil in a Pan splutter Mustard seeds/Cumin seeds, add curry leaves.
Next Add Onions, garlic and silted green chili.Saute until onions turn translucent. Next add Chopped Tomatoes/Tomato Paste and ¼ Cup Water. I have used Tomato Paste.
Add red chili and dhaniya powder along with the tomatoes. Let it Cook and ooze out oil.

Now Add the Sliced Bell Peppers and saute in a low flame, Add salt, Cover and cook in a slow flame for 2-3 minutes. Do not cook for more time, We do not want the Capsicums soggy n soft. Some Crunch in the veggie will be good.
Add Garam Masala to the Curry, give it a toss and Remove from flame.
Mix with Cooked Rice, Adjust the salt and Garnish it with Coriander leaves and shredded ginger and Serve with any Raita.
