Hi

Blogging Marathon is back. This time i was a little late in replying to Srivalli to join this marathon and missed the first group but she was kind enough to start a second group for marathoners who will start their blogging from today to 10th of this month. I have chosen RICE VARIETIES as my theme.I start this marathon with capsicum rice.

Onion 1

Green capsicum 3

Lemon 1

Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp

Cumin seeds 1 tsp

Black gram dhal 2 tsp

Bengal gram dhal 1 tbsp

Cinnamon 1"

Cardamom 2

Seasoning

Mustard seeds 1 tsp

Black gram dhal 1 tsp

Curry leaves few


PREPARATION


Cook rice in boiling water till 3/4th cooked.

Drain and cool.

In a sauce pan heat oil and add the seasonings. When it splutters add the diced onion and then the capsicum till fry till it becomes soft.

Now add the turmeric powder and saute for a minute. Add the dry masala powder and saute it till a good aroma comes out. Add the cooked rice to this and mix well. Garnish with fried cashew and serve warm with a raita of your choice
