Rajma & Bellpepper Pulao

Personally i always feel that preparing pulao seems quite easier than making out briyanis after a late wake up that too on sundays, our's this sunday menu went for this easy and simple as well as quick pulao with rajma which i already soaked, cooked and frozen ,prepared along with sauteed bellpeppers with spices,which i mixed to the already cooked basmati rice...This pulao needs hardly few minutes if u have everything besides u...Easy pulao suits prefectly for a lunch box menu, even the little one at home love this delicious and mildly spiced rice with papads or with boiled eggs..Kidney beans are an excellent source of molybdenum. They are a very good source of folate, dietary fiber and manganese. Kidney beans are a good source of protein, thiamine, phosphorus, iron, copper, magnesium, and potassium. Needless to say how healthy those green bell peppers.This pulao goes for simple spices and am damn sure that everyone at home will definitely love this colourful, delicious, flavourful and healthy pulao..Am sending this healthy pulao to three events, first one is Radhika's & Sudeshna's Food For Stages OF Life-Kids Special & CFK-Veggies & Fruits guest hosted by Lakshmi, event by Sharmi and finally to Think Spice-Think Turmeric guest hosted by Sudeshna, event by Sunita...
