My favorite and easiest rice dishes of all time. Looks complex but can be prepared in just matter of minutes and most important of all, tastes delicious.
Ingredients:
Dried red chilies - 5
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1.5 tsp
Coriander seeds - 1 tbsp
Urad dal - 2 tbsp
Peanuts - 1/2 cup
Curry leaves - bunch
Garam masala - 1/2 tsp
Butter - 1.5 tbsp
Capsicum (chopped) - 2 cups
Salt - to taste
Cooked rice - 3 to 4 cups
Chopped coriander leaves - 1/4 cup
Procedure:
- Heat a pan and dry roast the spices. (dried red chilies, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, urad dal, peanuts and curry leaves)
- Melt butter in a pan and add chopped capsicum. Add salt and cook for 5 to 10 mins.
- Add garam masala and ground spice powder from step-1 and mix well.
- Add cooked rice and mix well.

Enjoy while it is hot with some raitha on the side!
Note: Capsicum tastes much better when its only 80% cooked. Do not over cook it.
