Capsicum and peas bath

Today I am going to give the recipe of a very simple dish, capsicum and peas rice bath. It is just like making lemon rice. Eating plain lemon rice will not fill the stomach as it lacks vegetables. So you can add capsicum and peas. Capsicum is my favorite vegetable. Peas gives a very nice flavor. But the peas we get here is frozen and very sweet(which I do not like). Anyways, we just need the following ingredients to do this:

Oil (3-4 tea spoon)
capsicum finely chopped 1 cup
peas 1 cup
lemon juice
chopped green chili
mustard seeds
urad dal(1/2 a spoon)
bengal gram(1/2 a spoon)
boiled rice(normal rice tastes better than Basmati)
salt
Finely cut coriander leaves
turmeric powder
dried red chili
grated coconut(optional)
curry leaves(optional)
dry roasted pea nuts

Heat oil in a pan, put some mustard seeds. When it starts spluttering add urad dal and bengal gram Saute till it becomes reddish brown. Then add 1/2 a tea spoon of turmeric powder, curry leaves and dried red chili. saute for a minute. Now add chopped green chili (I usually chop it vertically).

Now add capsicum and peas. I used frozen peas. So I kept it in microwave oven for 4-5 minutes with water. Keep for 5-10 minutes, till it is cooked, see that capsicum is not raw. Then add boiled rice. Mix it well so that the turmeric spreads uniformly. Then add salt depending on your taste. Mix well.Add 4-5 spoons of lemon juice , put finely chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut. Mix well.

If you omit capsicum and peas from this recipe you end up with lemon rice or chitranna
