Cook the basmati rice in pressure cooker for 3-4 whistles by adding 1 cup of water.

Spread this in a plate and keep it aside.

In a pan add oil and add the peanuts.

Saute for a minute and add the onions.

Add little salt and saute this till it becomes translucent.

Now add the ginger garlic paste.

Saute till the raw smell of the ginger garlic paste goes off.

Now add in the chopped capsicum. I used green capsicum.

You can used mixed color of capsicum.

Add the sambar powder, garam masala, turmeric powder and salt.

Mix well and cook this for 2-3 minutes in low flame.

Let the capsicum be crunchy.

If you feel the mixture is dry, sprinkle 1 tbsp of water and cook.

Now add in the cooked rice.

Mix well evenly.

Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.

Capsicum rice is ready.

Pair this with simple onion raita or any vegetable of your choice.
