    Millet capsicum rice is a simple millet breakfast recipe with Italian spices and colored capsicum.

    This is a vegan, gluten-free, and healthy recipe using little millet and this will be a good breakfast or lunch box option. You can use other small millets like Foxtail, Proso, or Barnyard millet also to make this capsicum rice recipe.

    I have posted a detailed recipe on millet nutrition and how to cook millet grain. Cooked millet can be used to make any rice dishes. As you are here, you might be interested in other millet recipes.
