I love Rice dishes and try to make different versions by using different powders, each time the rice will taste differently, Of course as everybody knows, different veggies give different taste with the rice, Here is one such, Today I thought I will use peas & capsicum with different masala powder and see how well it goes, Actually it was quite nice, and everybody at home liked it!
