    Hai friends...Happy weekahead..Lets start another busy week...
    To give you energy and keep your week going,I am going to show you a yummy briyani which is made with my favorite veggie Bell Pepper...
    I love to add Bell peppers in all my dishes...Some how I love the crunch they gave to the dishes...It makes the dish colourful as well as flavourful..

    This recipe is best served with raita or pachadis..I served it with pineapple pachadi,which was a hit in my house..So with no more delay, here I deliver the recipe..
    Ingredients:
    Basmati Rice-2 cups soaked for 30 mins
    Onion-2 sliced
    Tomato-4 chopped
    Capsicum / Bell Pepper-1 large cubed
    Curd-Β½ cup
    Chilli powder-1 tsp
    Coriander powder / Malli podi-1 tblspn
    Turmeric powder / Manjal podi-1 tsp
    Garam masala powder-1 tsp
    Cumin seeds / Jeerakam-2 tsp
    Salt to taste
    Ghee-2 tblspn
    Water - 3 cup
    For Green Masala:
    Fennel Seeds / Sombu-1 tblspn
    Cinnamon / Pattai-1 inch piece
    Cloves / Krambu-4
    Cardamom / Yelakai-4
    Green chilli-2
    Coriander leaves / Cilantro-1 cup
    Method:
    In a blender take all ingrediants given for grinding and make into a fine paste.
    Heat ghee in a kadai,add in cumin seeds..After it crackle add in onions,cook this till golden brown..
    Add in the ground masala and cook till oil separates from this..
    Add in tomatoes and mix well...Season with salt.
    Add in turmeric,coriander,chilli and garam masala powder.
    Add in capsicum and mix well..Pour in curd and mix well.
    Add in the soaked rice and fry for 2 mins..
    Pour in 3 cups of water(for 1 cup rice add 1.5 cup water)...Let this come up to boil..
    Cover and simmer on a very low flame for 15-20 mins until the rice is cooked and all water has absorbed..
    Serve with your favorite gravy or raita..

      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.
