    Hi Mullai,
    I am going to try this recipe today. What would be a good side dish for this? Will ‘Gunti vankaya koora ” go with this???

    hi mam, I wish to try this but this is first time i am going to prepare a dish with capsicum.I have a doubt that should we add the white seeds that's inside capsicum while finely chopping them or just the outer layer.

    Hi Mullai, I recently joined your website n have tried a couple of your receipes. They came out so well, my hubby especially loves the Chettinad Chicken. Today I tried out this pulao, my 1.5 yr old kid never eats anything except paruppu sadam n curd rice. To my surprise, she liked this pulao and she had it for lunch. I am so happy.. Thanks a lot, Mullai for the nice dish.

      Deepu,
      If using dry mint leaves use 2 leaves and add while tempering or else add 5 to 6 fresh mint leaves. If you add more it will tend to dominate the flavour. Side disha,ummm… my choice Pepper chicken curry or Paneer Butter Masala.

      1. Vijitha

        OK Mullai. Thanks for your reply. Will try this brand and try this recipe too. Let you know for sure. I'm very sure we will like this. VIJI

        Dear Mullai

         

        I am a regular visitor of your site and i have tried a couple of recipes (kadai paneer) and Tomato rice. They were wonderful.

         I have a question. Which rice cooker do you use? i mean the "brand"? I have "aroma" brand. it gives me lot of problem.btw  i also use 'royal' basmati from sams club.

        rice is getting stuck to the base and burnt for one lower layer every time  despite with all  right proportions of water..it would be of such a great help if you could give me some tips to avoid this or suggest the brand of rice cooker you are using!

         

        thanks a bunch:-)

          Gayu,

          No matter what cooker you use ,a couple of tsp of rice will be stuck to the bottom every time.  Lower part of the rice will look brown but not burnt. If its too much then water proportion is not right, which most of time will work, if not trying adding little more. I use Panasonic non stick rice cooker, which I bought online 5 years back and still works fine. Here's the link

          Gayu,

          I am using aroma non stick 4 cup rice cooker. I have been using this for 5 years without any problem. What I do to avoid sticking rice is as soon as the cooker goes to warm (that is after rice is cooked for 10 minutes) I unplug the cord. This way I dont see a crispy brown layer of rice at the bottom. If your cooker is not non stick then try to unplug the cord a minute before it is done so that you wont see lot of wastage. I use 2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice. Hope this helps.

    hi mullai,

    I tried this today .. it came out delicious…but the rice was slightly stick / starchy…i did cook it lemon juice , oil and salt…what can i serve as a side dish ? i made some cucumber raitha …

    Hi Mullai

    I tried this today for dinner, my family yet to taste, but I could see that , it came out really well. I just cooked a bit more on the bell peppers , as my kids might take them out… I also added te yellow and red bell peppers too.. Instead of coconut milk I added yogurt, I just tasted a bit.. Yummy !!! Hipip Horray for Mullai.

    Mu side dish for this is Chicken Salna ( recipe from here) and Raidha..

    Thanks
    Jaya Lakshmi

    Mullai,
    A suggestion if you dont mind.
    Would it be possible to add this capcicum pulao in rice delights as well if it sounds appropriate to you? Since I know you had this nice pulao and was searching in rice delights to make this WE, but later I found using search.
    Thank you.

    Hi Mullai, Would appreciate if you brief the number of whistles required for the rice to cook. Coz it might become over cooked or under cooked when the timing isn’t right. Thanks for the posting. It is a different recipe and would like to try it sometime this week.

    1. Mullai

      Normally I would allow 2 whistles and switch off. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then when pressure completely releases, open and mix gently.

      1. Jas

        I really appreciate your patience in replying to our queries. You are doing a good job Mullai. Keep it up. Hope your household should be putting on weight due to your delicious cooking…….
