Tricolour Capsicum rice

Tricolour Capsicum rice is a variety rice made with three different colour capsicums namely green, red and yellow. It is so easy to make with less ingredients. Bell peppers are known for its attractive colour, taste and nutrients. They are rice in carotenoids, Vitamin-E and good anti-oxidants. Normally rice with pepper or bell pepper give them a Mexican or Spanish flavour. Mexican rice has to be marinated in onion-garlic gravy and other spices. Here I didn’t use onion and garlic. I used No onion no garlic sauce to give it a different flavour.  Tricolour Capsicum rice is an easy, colourful and tasty rice that you can prepare it in a jiffy.
