Capsicum-Cumin Rice with Egg

Today a bit lazy to cook, as it’s a long weekend and yesterday was fully occupied with kitchen stuff. I prepared all the powders like sambar powder, rasam powder, karam podi, ginger garlic paste for the coming months. I will post all the recipes in future. And here comes Capsicum-cumin rice, which I felt easy to do and this recipe is from aayis recipes.
