Instructions: To begin making Crunchy Ginger Capsicum Rice Recipe, let's get the basmati rice ready. Wash the basmati rice in running tap water until clear and soak for 30 minutes.Now, take a big pan, fill it with 3.5 cups of water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add the soaked and drained rice, salt to taste, close it with a lid and cook for 20 minutes on a low flame. The rice should be cooked to al dente (firm to bite). Switch off the flame, let it rest for 10 minutes.Fluff up the rice with a fork such it does not become lumpy after cooling and keep aside.Now heat a kadai with some butter and a teaspoon of oil.
