Microwave Capsicum Rice - Step by Step Recipe step by step

1. Take 2 cups of rice (each cup is 200 ml), wash the rice, add 3 cups of water to the washed rice and soak it for 20 minutes. Soaking helps the rice to cook faster..
2. On the other hand, take a thick bottom pan or a non-stick pan, let the pan heat then   add 1 tbsp of ghee/clarified butter. Here you may use olive oil or regular cooking oil, I love the aroma of clarified butter and one tbsp is going to get divided between 4 – 5 people so no guilt here lol!To the ghee/clarified butter add 2 tsp of cumin, 1 green chili finely chopped, and cashews..
3. Saute for 2 minutes till you get a nice aroma from all the sauteing and hear the grumble in your stomach (I always have one).
4. Add 5 -6 peppercorns to this and sauté again..
5. After 20 minutes, remove the water in which the rice was soaked. Take a microwave safe dish and add the washed rice to it.For 2 cups of rice add 4 cups of water, add salt and pour the seasoning prepared above to the rice. I have used Dawat Basmati rice, the rice to water quantity gives me a perfect long grain cooked rice..
6. None.
7. None.
8. Stir well and cover with an aluminum foil, poke hole in the foil with a knife or any other sharp object u can lay hands on, microwave for 20 minutes on high!.
9. The result is a capsicum flavored rice, serve hot with a rich gravy or a simple dal... its a sure winner!.
