Once upon a time, Capsicum Rice was a rescuer for me! It was the usual go-to recipe for S's lunch box. But of late I have not been preparing this, as capsicum has been causing acidity and heartburn. But I think drinking good amount of water will solve the problem and moreover capsicum has a lot of health benefits too. Nevertheless I sneak in capsicum here and there. On one such occasion, I made it with a combo of onion, tomato, Capsicum and vangibath powder and sure turned out delicious!! If anyone has noticed, Vangibath powder is an essential in my pantry :)

Rice 1 1/2 cups (Brown or Basmati or regular, but I used Sona Masoori)
Capsicum / Green Bell Pepper 2 cups
Onions Finely Chopped 1/4 - 1/2 cup
Tomato finely chopped 1/4 cup
Turmeric 1/8 tsp
Green Chillies 2-3 (or as per taste)
Vangibath Powder 1-2 tsp
Salt as per taste
Lemon Juice 1-2 tsp (or as per taste)
Seasoning (Oil 2 tsp, Cloves 3-4, Bay leaf 1, Cinnamon 1 inch piece, Cumin / Jeera 1 tsp, Cardamom 2-3 pods)
Method Of Preparation -
Cook rice as per preference and set aside. (I used the rice cooker to cook rice).
In a heated wok/kadai, add 2 tsp of oil and the rest of the seasoning. After the cumin seeds start to brown, add the onions and saute until golden brown. Add the chopped green chillies, tomatoes and chopped capsicum.
Add turmeric and cover with a lid so as to let the capsicum get cooked al dente.
After about 5-7 min, when the capsicum is fork tender, add Vangibath Powder and salt.
Once the mixture is near water-free, reduce the heat and add the cooked rice and mix well.
Adjust the taste and squeeze in some lemon juice.
Preparation Time 30 min
Serves 2-3 Adults
