👩🍳 Method
Cook Rice – Prepare rice and keep it aside to cool. Grains should be separate, not mushy.
Heat Oil/Ghee – Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, chana dal, urad dal, dry red chili, and curry leaves. Let them splutter.
Add Aromatics – Add onion, green chilies, and sauté until onions turn golden. Then add ginger-garlic paste and sauté until raw smell disappears.
Add Capsicum – Toss in the sliced capsicum and sauté for 3–4 minutes (don’t overcook; it should stay slightly crunchy).
Add Spices – Mix in turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala/sambar powder, and salt. Stir well.
Mix Rice – Add cooked rice and gently combine with the masala until evenly coated.
Finish – Garnish with coriander leaves and a splash of lemon juice.
