Tri Color Bell Pepper Stir Fry

This recipe was really an attempt to clear out all the vegetables in my fridge and I had a packet of red, orange and yellow bell peppers that I wanted to use up.This recipe is traditionally done using Green Bell peppers also called as capsicum.So you can add that too into this mix of colors.This is a simple stir fry that can be eaten as an accompaniment to rice or roti or even added to omelettes etc.
