Spicy Chilli Garlic and Bell Pepper Rice with hot fiery chilli chutney, garlic and crunchy bell peppers.

Here I bring you today is a real spicy treat for chilli and garlic lovers. This Spicy Chilli Garlic and Bell Pepper Rice will set your taste buds on fire!! A one pot meal that is ready within 30 minutes if you already have cooked rice. The real taste of this rice comes from the garlic and chilli chutney which is can be homemade or store-bought and bell peppers that add to the flavor and color of the rice.

To prepare this rice, we need cooked rice. To get the separate grains and beautiful texture it is better if use refrigerated rice. Do you know why it is preferred to use the refrigerated rice for making any kind of fried rice? Freshly prepared rice has lot of moisture, cooking it immediately introduces more moisture to it hence we get overcooked mushy rice. It is always better to use the dry rice wither by leaving it in open for an hour or so or cooling it and refrigerating it.

The other ingredients we need are finely chopped onions, garlic and bell peppers. You can use bell peppers of any color or mixed ones. I have used red and green bell peppers here. To add to the hotness of this rice, use any fiery chilli chutney, like Szechwan chutney, Siracha sauce or any homemade red chilli chutney. Add chutney as per your spice tolerance levels. I usually keep some kind of chilli chutney ready in my refrigerator. Sometimes it is so easy to just add it for the flavor in rice dishes or in stir fries.

I have also added paneer pieces, you can add or skip as per your choice. For vegan version, you can add tofu.
