Spinach, Corn and Capsicum Rice is an excellent dish for lunch boxes and it is a happy tummy recipe that has a unique taste. It is made with simple ingredients like Spinach, Corn, Capsicum added to the Cooked Rice and tossed well using some spices.
This comes as a great refresher instead of having strong spices and Ginger and Garlic paste in the lunch boxes, which are unhealthy, if overly consumed.
This tummy-friendly recipe is very easy to make and can be easily made by Bachelors and Office-goers for packing lunch boxes in no time .

Tips
White Rice:
- You can use Cooked Millets instead of White Rice, if you like it.
Ginger:
- I used more Ginger and reduced Chilli in this Capsicum Rice, similar to Pongal. It will be spicy and tasty. You can grate or finely chop the Ginger.
Green Chillies:
- Slit Green Chillies can be easily removed from the Rice, when serving it for kids or else you can fry the chillies into a dark shade to reduce its spice.
Capsicum:
- Capsicum can be cut finely and then it needs to be fried for 2-3 minutes only.
Sweet Corn:
- I used Sweet Corn for a natural sweetness, You can use Frozen Peas instead.
- As I used Sweet Corn, I fried the Onions along with it .But when you are using Frozen Peas you have to fry them separately after the Capsicum is cooked properly.
Sambar Powder:
- The unique taste for the Rice comes only from Sambar Powder so don't skip it. Fry for at least 30 seconds to get a perfect taste.
Final Tip:
- I made this Rice as Medium spicy. You can adjust the Chillies to make it less or more spicy as per your taste.
