Simple yet Colorful Vegetable Rice

When it comes to breakfast, or lunch or dinner,Rice is the word comes in to my mind.Without it, I would be so crazy. Simple my mom and sister calls me "Sadam"...That means Rice in Tamil.I could eat it any time of the day, anywhere on the earth. I would not even think about it ..Just eat eat eat.
Nowadays, things have changed. After marriage, Since my husband loves to take chapati, unfortunately, I love chapatis too.But, will surely end with curd rice.

So , I decided to make a simple vegetable rice, which everybody adores.The beauty of this is,includes all colours which will tempt you so much to have more and more...As you know, whatever I try to make, will keep it simple & delicious. This is one of my husband's favourite vegetable rice.You can make it really fast, takes no time...Except for the chopping of vegetables which you can ask your hubby to do ;) just kidding.

I am sending this to Rice Mela hosted by Sri ( Cooking 4 all seasons).Again, hats off to Sri, who is doing this.
