Capsicum Biryani Recipe
To give you energy and keep your week going. I am going to show you a yummy biryani which is made with my favorite veggie Bell Pepper. I love to add Bell peppers in all my dishes.

I love biryani, will make this soon.
I remember that old Japanese TV show "Iron Chef" where the host would take a bite out of a whole raw bell pepper. He said it was his favourite vegetable.
Thanks for this recipe.
