Hello all, ever worried or confused about what to do with leftover white rice? Capsicum Rice with Leftover Rice?
Also have got few capsicums or Bell Peppers in the fridge?
So here I come up with a simple breakfast rice recipe.
I heard that the rice cooked night before has got many nutritional values in it.
That is why people in the olden days used to eat leftover rice with curd as breakfast before they go out to any work so that they’ll be filled until lunch:-).
Also, Capsicums are very rich in vitamin C than lemons.
Capsicums shouldn’t be cooked for a longer time, it should be just sauteed for few minutes to maintain their crunch.
Now let’s go into the detailed step by step procedure to make this quick and easy yummilicious capsicum rice

- Leftover Rice-2 cups
