Pepper Rice Recipe

Pepper rice recipe just under 10 mins. This pepper rice is delicious, comforting and flavorful. It is super quick to make if you have some precooked rice ready. My kids love variety rice recipes and they don’t mind eating them daily. But practically it is not possible for all of us at home to eat only variety rice everyday since we have different tastes.

After cooking the plain rice for all of us, I make this pepper rice for the kids with their portion of cooked rice.

About Pepper Rice

The pepper rice recipe shared here is from my mum, the way she would make for us when we were kids. This turns out to be amazingly delicious and is great for fussy kids. If you have difficult meal time with your picky eating kids, do try this I am sure they will love it.

A mix vegetable salad, kosambari or kachumber goes very well with this. It is healthy to accompany this with a vegetable salad since no veggies are used in the preparation of this easy pepper rice.

I also make this with egg as it adds some protein to the dish.

This pepper rice will be liked by anyone and is not specific to kids alone. Just increase the amount of pepper or use some green chilies for added heat.

This recipe requires precooking rice and can be made even with any kind of rice like ponni or sona masuri rice.

I also pack this in the kids’ school box along with some sliced carrots and cucumbers.

You can also serve this without any side as well or a curry goes good too. Veg kurma or egg curry pair very well with this.

Some times we serve this with plain curd or seasoned curd or an omelette.
