Capsicum masala

As promised I am posting another recipe with capsicum. The veggie I love experimenting with!!
This is originally made with brinjal and a famous dish from Andhra (not sure about the name of it)...but both my husband and myself do not like the "much loved brinjal"!! Hence tried the same with capsicum.

Ingredients -
Capsicum - 4 big ones
Onion - 1 big
Roasted Peanuts - 2 tsp (unsalted)
Cashew - 6 to 8 (full)
Red Chillies - 4 to 5
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Jeera - 1 tsp
Curry leaves

Take a spoon of oil and roast the red chillies and keep them aside. Now fry the onions till they turn brown. Grind the onions, red chillies, peanuts and cashews to a smooth paste.
(Note: If you do not have roasted unsalted peanuts. Roast the peanuts in microwave for 3 - 5 minutes based on the power of the microwave and grind it with the onions)
Take oil and butter in a pan after it gets heated. Add mustard seeds, Jeera, curry leaves, pinch of turmeric powder and capsicum. Fry the capsicum for a while and close the pan and cook it. When the capsicum is 3/4th cooked add the grounded paste, coriander powder and salt and bring it to a boil.

The yummy capsicum gravy is ready to be served.It goes well with roti but I love to have this with plain rice or ghee rice. I will be posting the recipe for ghee rice soon....
