Capsicum Rice | Kudamilagai Sadam

One pot meal of Rice with Capsicum cooked along onions & specially ground Indian masala



I do not remember the history of this rice, but it was up in my list of fav lunch box dishes that my mom used to prepare for me and my sis.. So I have taken up that legacy and guess what, even Deeps loves it happy So this one has been always cooking in my kitchen once every fortnight.  And you can fix this up in a jiffy. So an ideal treat in your busy morning schedules, once you have the masala ground and stored during the weekend. 


So without much ado, on to the recipe..


Recipe Source: Ma


Serves: 2-3 persons


I Took:

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 25 minutes


I Used:

For ground masala:
Coriander seeds - 3 tbsp
Red Chilly 
- 6 no
Urd dal
- 2 tbsp
Channa dal 
- 2 tbsp
Coconut 
- 2 tbsp
Cinnamon 
- 1 small stick
Cloves
- 3 no

For Rice:
Basmati Rice - 1 cup
Capsicum
- 1 no(diced)
Onion 
- 1 no (medium sized - diced)
Ground masala 
- 4 tbsp
Oil  - 1 tbsp
Salt
- As Needed

The Way:

  1. Dry roast separately all the ingredients mentioned under 'For Ground Masala'. Grind them together in a blender and keep aside
  2. Cook rice separately with a spoon of oil or lemon juice so that the grains do not stick together. Keep this aside
  3. Heat oil in a pan. Add onion and saute until they are translucent
  4. Add the diced capsicum and saute till moist
  5. Now add in the ground masala and mix well. Add the cooked rice and mix well

Serve with pappads and raita.

Cheers,
Chitz
