Capsicum and Walnut Stir Fried Rice

My school friends had come over for dinner yesterday. The whole day was spent in the kitchen yesterday. So I was not in a mood for any elaborate cooking today. Had a lot of leftover rice. I used that to make a quick, healthy, spicy and yummy capsicum and walnut stir fried rice which I served with cucumber raita and chips:)

Chopped capsicum- 1 cup

Add the sliced shallots and garlic and little salt. Sauté till the shallots turn pale.
