How to make Capsicum Bath Recipe
To begin making the Capsicum Bath recipe, firstly wash rice and cook it with water and salt in a saucepan. The cooked rice grains should be separate and not mushy.

Heat oil in a kadhai and add mustard seeds, lentils and cashew nuts. Once they splutter add curry leaves, red chili and green chili .
Add onion, green peas, turmeric and salt. Saute it till the raw smell of onion goes away.
Once it is done, add chopped capsicum and cook it for 3-4 minutes.
Once the capsicum is cooked half, add vangibath powder, tamarind juice and mix everything well. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes, so that capsicum takes in the flavour.
Finally, add the grated coconut and give a gentle mix. Switch off after the extra moisture has evaporated. Now add rice to the pan and mix everything properly.
