Its time to spring forward! Day light saving has started… yay more sunlight in the evenings 🙂 Temperature is improving here in the windy city. For the past one week we are enjoying mid 40s… smelling spring in the air 😀

I bought fresh yellow and red bell pepper and tried variety rice using them. It was delicious. I observed that yellow and red bell pepper are bit sweet as opposed to the green ones. Here is the tasty bell pepper rice recipe.

Ingredients:

Bell pepper (Capsicum): 2
Onion: 1
Ginger-garlic paste: 1 tsp
Pepper (powdered): 1 tsp
Salt: to taste
Curry leaves: few
Asafetida (Hing): a pinch
Cooking oil: for seasoning
Rice: 1 cup

Preparation Method:

Cook rice and keep it aside.
Chop onion and bell peppers.
Heat oil and do seasoning with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal (Black gram) and curry leaves.
Add onions and saute till they turn brownish in color.
Now add ginger garlic paste and bell peppers.
Fry them till bell peppers turn soft.
Add salt, asafetida and pepper powder.
Remove from the stove top.
Now mix rice with this curry and enjoy spicy bell pepper rice.

Wishing you all a very happy Ugadi / Gudi padwa 🙂

Hello Anu..Nice bell pepper rice..rice vadam looks very nice too..is it home made?

Thanks Chitra 🙂

Hi anu,

Why do u add black gram dhal? do u have to soak it before? how much u add it in?

Jaime,

While seasoning, we generally add very small quantity (say 1/4 tsp) of mustard, cumin seeds and urad dal (Black gram). This leaves a nice flavour and crunchy taste 🙂 Adding these ingredients is purely optional.

No u need not soak it before adding. Just 1/4 or 1/2 tsp of dal would do. Hope this helps. Thanks for visiting My Scrawls. Do keep in touch 🙂
