Brown Rice and Bell Pepper Pulao

 

 

 

Ingredients

 

1 cup uncooked brown rice 2 medium size green bell peppers or 1 green and 1

sweet pepper ( Red / Orange) chopped fairly small 1 Jalapeno chilli or the

amount to suit your taste 1 medium onion finely chopped Cilantro (I like a lot

of it) 1/4 tsp of jeera Salt and pepper to taste 1 Tbsp. olive or canola oil 3

Tbsps shredded sharp cheddar cheese

 

 

 

Method

 

Cook and set aside the brown rice with 1/2 tsp of salt according to the

instructions on the package.

 

Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan and toss in the jeera.

 

Once it changes color, add the onions and chopped jalapeno chillies and saute

for about 3 to 5 mins.

 

Add the chopped bell peppers and continue to saute. The veggies should not be

too soft.

 

The flavor is best when the peppers are still a bit crisp.

 

Season with salt and pepper and add the chopped cilantro.

 

Toss this mixture with the cooked rice and shredded cheese while still warm and

serve immediately.

 

Serves 2 as a main course.
