(Tri color) Bell pepper/Capsicum Fried Rice

Tri-colour rice is a very colorful, nutritious and mouth-watering dish made with 3 different coloured capsicum / bell peppers and other vegetables. I love this recipe for its unique flavour and the ease of preparation. Capsicum, smoky vegetables which enhance taste and aroma of any dish. I love to give a try of any dish which is made with capsicum.
