Capsicum is a scrumptious vegetable with which we can do many recipes like capsicum masala curry, capsicum sambar, capsicum kootu and more recipes. Capsicum Masala rice is one of the rich and yummy rice variety which can be served with any stir-fried vegetable or with any raitha or simply with a pappad. I have prepared fresh masala to spice this capsicum rice. We can also make this Capsicum Rice quite simple, just by tempering green and red chili for spice and add peanuts to the tempering. But, this method of freshly grinding masala really adds a nice flavor to the rice.

Health Benefits of Capsicum:

A fresh, crisp capsicum is a tasty vegetable that can be a regular part of your healthy eating plan. This vegetable is low in calories and contains 0 grams of fat and a good supply vitamins and minerals. Their mildly sweet flavor makes capsicum versatile enough to include a wide variety of nutritious recipes. The capsicum complement the taste of chili as well.  Always try to use capsicum raw or even if we are cooking, make sure its not losing its crispness.

Tips for making Capsicum Rice:

  1. For cooked rice we can use the left over rice or we can spread the freshly cooked rice in a broad plate and allow it to cool down completely so that it doesn’t get mushy while combining with capsicum and spice powder.
  2. Adjust the quantity of pepper and red chili according to your taste.
  3. Along with other grinding ingredients, we can also include 2 tsp of dry coconut and 1 tsp of sesame seeds.
  4. Always stir-fry the capsicum in medium flame. We need tender but yet crispy capsicum. Capsicum cooks quickly so keep an eye otherwise it will be very soft and mushy.
  5. While mixing the capsicum, onion and spice powder, gently mix without mushing the rice.

If you like this Capsicum Rice, you can also try:

  2. Pudina Rice (Mint Rice)
  3. Amla Rice (Gooseberry Rice)
  4. Beans Masala Rice
