In these busy days, we all love to cook something that is fast to cook, easy to prepare with available ingredients in the kitchen. Fried Rice is one such best option that can be made very quick, healthy and nutritious in just 10 minutes. We can make different styles of fried rice in different tastes using various ingredients. I have prepared Carrot Sweetcorn Fried Rice earlier and today I am presenting a grandma's recipe "PEPPER RICE". In olden days, this healthy rice is used in curing stomach & throat ailments and it is also the best remedy for cold and cough. 

Black pepper is one of the ancient, humble and healthy spice of India with pungent and woody aroma. The use of black pepper in Indian kitchen especially south Indian kitchen is limitless.   

Let me come to my Pepper Rice now... I have taken the olden days' recipe and gave small twist in taste by adding bell peppers and garam masala. Bell peppers made this recipe more colourful and garam masala added a good flavour. Add ginger, garlic to the oil. After sauteing them, add red & green bell peppers and all other ingredients. Stir fry them and add cooked rice. Add black pepper powder to rice at the end of cooking because if cooked longer, it looses its flavour and aroma. Finally sprinkle coriander leaves and add lemon juice. Mix well till the sharp flavour of pepper and other ingredients are nicely blended with rice. 

Try to prepare this healthy Pepper Rice often, especially in winter season because it relieves cold & blocked nasal passages, stimulates digestion, enables weight loss and acts as a great exfoliator that enables blood circulation and provides skin with more oxygen when taken with honey / curd / fresh cream.
