SIMPLE CAPSICUM PULAO

                 I make it a point to have rice for lunch....coz i need the energy to run after my 1 1/2 year old daughter!! At home with rice we normally eat sambar or rasam or ..if its non veg....its either a chicken curry or fish curry.   
                 So inspired by sangee vijay's lunch box special I decided to eat healthy and make my task much easier by cooking veggies and rice in 1 dish!......how nice!!! :)

1 capsicum (any colour), de seeded and chopped into small pieces
a pinch turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp chilli powder (or as required)
1 tsp corriander powder
salt
a handful of pudina

  •  Add oil to a wok. When its hot add the elaichi, cardamoms and cinnamon
  • Add onions. Stir til golden brown. Add the chillies and stir
