Capsicum Pulao Recipe – Easy Capsicum Rice

December 8, 2014 by Sharmilee J 7 Comments

Capsicum Pulao Recipe

This capsicum pulao is just my recent try when I had few chopped capsicum left out to finish up.I saw this recipe in a cook book of rice varieties, I adapted it to suit our taste and the pulao was loved by the little one and hubby gave a  thumps up to this pulao.You can pair it up with a simple raita.

I was skeptical whether to title it as pulao or rice as its inbetween both so I have given both the names.I have already posted capsicum masala bath and this one is a a very different take to the usual pulao we make.This can best be suited for lunchbox for office goers and for kids do try this easy pulao.

Capsicum Pulao Recipe

My Notes:

  • You can even use leftover rice for this recipe but I prefer basmati rice for this.
  • Cook rice perfectly not too mushy or undercook it.It should be soft yet grains seperated this can be attained easily by soaking rice then pressure cooking.
  • You can add 1/4 chopped big onion after jeera crackles.
  • This rice is very mild and less spicy.You can play with spice as you prefer.
