Who does not like a 'One Pot Meal"? I just dote on them! Coloured Capsicums are really attractive apart from being very healthy, they are rich in beta carotene, capsaicin, Vit A n C and also prevent a host of other diseases..the list is never ending.
So why not have these vibrant veggies as a one pot meal?
Ingredients:
Three coloured capsicums
Five tbsp of cracked wheat/dalia
Two tbsp of finely chopped mixed veggies
A tbsp of sesame seeds
A tbsp of Cumin seeds/Jeera
A tsp of Cayenne pepper
A tbsp of grated Cheese (i used parmesan)
Salt to taste
A tbsp of olive oil
A tbsp of Cilantro/hara dhaniya
Three cups of boiling water
Method:
Wash and dry the capsicums and carefully slice the heads and keep them intact.
Scoop out the seeds and set aside.
Pour boiling water over the broken wheat and set aside for 15 minutes.
Take a pan and add the olive oil and once it is hot add the Cumin seeds. Once they crackle add the chopped veggies and saute for a minute or so. Now drain the cracked wheat and add them to the veggies. Add salt, cayenne pepper and sesame seeds. Let the mixture cook on medium heat for four to five minutes. Lastly add the chopped cilantro.
Take an electric rice cooker (you can use your steamer) and add water to the pot and set to 'Cook'.
Take the capsicums and fill each of them with the cooked mixture and fill in just a little more than half because the cracked wheat swells up once it is cooked, Now carefully place the capsicums on the steamer dish and put it in the cooker. Steam for 35 minutes and check if the cracked wheat is cooked. Once done remove from the steamer and let them cool down for a while. Don't overcook the capsicums because you don't want a limp capsicum on your plate. It should be firm and a bit 'Crunchy'. Garnish with grated Cheese and cover the capsicums with their heads and serve warm with seasoned yoghurt.
Your healthy meal is ready and if you have noticed, I have just used a tbsp of oil!!!
