• Wash the rice thoroughly, cook it, and keep it aside. In a deep vessel, put oil, and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and chana dal.
• When the dal is slightly brown, add the capsicum pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes; then add peas.
• When cooked properly, add sambar powder, coconut powder, and salt; mix well and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
