This is a Fried rice recipe that I have in my collection that I modified by adding sweet corn kernels and the chicken sausages. The red and yellow peppers, carrot, cabbage and corn kernels make this dish vividly colourful ! It can be had on its own or or with any sauce based gravy of chicken as it goes really well with it :) I prefer it as it can be prepared quickly with relative ease. As for the ingredients, some of them can be considered as optional although the taste may get compromised to some extent.
To share some interesting facts about Capsicums aka Bell Peppers, they are botanically considered as fruits but in culinary sense as vegetables! And yes, like many other fruits and vegetables they are native to Latin America! Christopher Columbus and other Spanish and Portuguese explorers brought them to Europe and named them mistakenly as Peppers!They are packed with anti-oxidants and Vitamin C, especially the red peppers. So, overall, I rate this recipe as healthy!
