Such a eye-pleasing dish.
Crunchy Capsicum / bell pepper with a dusting of crunchy nutty spicy powder.
I still remember seeing these colorful capsicums at the market and just wanting to buy them.
I have made some other curries using these beauties like Vegetable Jalfrieze and Italian Pasta with grilled vegetables, but this is a very easy side dish to make.Hardly takes time.
Ingredients:
Capsicum / bell pepper in all 3 colors - 1/2 of each
Onion - 1 large
Peanut - 1 tbsp
Til seeds - 1 tsp
Coriander seeds - 1/2 tsp
Dry Red chilly - 2
Dry Coconut / copra - 4 slivers
Oil - 2 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Method:
Cut the onion and capsicum into 1 inch squares. Try to separate the onion into individual layers.
Dry fry peanut, til seeds, coriander seeds and red chilly separately.
Heat the oil, fry the dry conut until golden. remove using a slotted spoon and add to the rest of the fried ingredients.
Cool and powder coarsely. Keep aside.
In the rest of the oil, splutter the mustard and add the onions and capsicum together.
Keep the flame high. Keep stirring the vegetables.
Fry till you hear the popping sound from the skin of the capsicum.
Now add the powdered spices and salt. Mix well.
Turn off flame and serve hot.
You can add a little lemon juice, if you so wish.
