Cheesy Jeera Rice

Sometimes it becomes neccessary to jazz up the regular old recipe a little bit to make it appetizing and attarctive, and it actually works. Being tired of the same old jeera(cumin) rice as a side to all the currys I try a various options in Rice. This time it was just some colorful pepper that I hallowed and seasoned and grilled before fillin it with rice ,the sweetness of the red pepper actually enhances the rice and make it very fragrant too.This worked out very well,and since we had company over for lunch,I like being creative and artistic and it was very well apreciated.
