It's Wednesday - it means a one pot meal for my little family.
Ingredients:
Green capsicum - 2 - diced into small pieces (do this on Sunday so you have it ready for the weekday craziness)
Mint -  handful
Ginger garlic paste (1/2 tea spoon) - I make this fresh on Sundays enough for the week
Brown basmati rice - 2 cups
Heat oil in a wok.
Add biryani spices( star anise, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom pods) and fry for a minute
Add cut capsicum to the oil and fry it
After about 5 mins, add chopped mint and ginger garlic paste
Mix it for a couple of mins
Add brown rice and roast for another 3-4 mins
Transfer it to the rice cooker and cook it
Note: I have a timer cooker by Sanyo that I bought on Amazon. This is such a life saver, I should say and an essential tool in the kitchen for all working moms. Basically you add all your ingredients to the vessel and set the timer for when you want your food ready. Say, I set it for 6:10pm in the evening and it's brown rice, it turns on at 5:30 and finishes cooking by the time you come back home.
That's it for today peeps! Have a good one!!
