Simple Capsicum/Bell Pepper Curry

Ingredients:

2 medium sized green capsicums/ Bell peppers (you may use combination of green and red capsicums like I did)
1 medium onion chopped
1/4 cup roasted peanuts
1 tbsp cumin pwd
1/2 tsp red chilli pwd (adjust)
pinch of turmeric
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
Salt to taste
2 tbsp oil
Cilantro to garnish


Process:

• Discard the seeds of the capsicum and chop it into small pieces.
• Coarsely grind the roasted peanuts and keep it aside.
• Heat oil and add the cumin seeds and fry for 30 secs.
• Add the chopped onions  and fry them till they turn translucent.
• Add the chopped capsicum along with salt, turmeric and red chilli pwd.
• Cover and cook on medium till the capsicum is half cooked.
• At this stage you not need to add water as the capsicum oozes a lot of water while cooking.
• When it is half cooked add the cumin pwd and now if required you may add half cup of water.
• Adjust salt and cover and cook till the capsicum is completely done.
• Lastly add the peanut pwd, mix well and cook uncovered for 2 mins.
• Switch off the flame and garnish with cilantro.
• This taste great with plain rice and pesarakattu.

Happy Tummy :-)
