Ingredients:
Capsicum (green bell peppers) - 4-5
Rai (mustard seeds) - 1 tsp
Udad (split black gram) dal - 1 tsp
Hing (asafoetida) - a pinch
Haldi (turmeric) - 1/4 tsp
Oil - 3 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Optional:
Besan (gram flour) - 4-5 tbsp
Red chilli powder - 1-1.5 tsp
Cooking time: 15 min (5 min prep, 10 min cook)
Servings: 4-5
Method:
Core the bell peppers and dice them into bite size pieces. Heat the oil in a wok and add rai, udad dal and hing. When the rai starts to sputter, add the capsicum and haldi and sautee until the capsicum is cooked. Garnish with 1 tbsp grated coconut if desired. Serve with rice.
Optional 1:
Once the capsicum is cooked, add 2 tbsp oil and sprinkle besan and red chilli powder and mix well until the besan absorbs the excess oil. This results in a dry dish which is more suited for serving with chapatis.
Optional 2:
Add chopped mushrooms and torn Thai basil when frying.

My mom is responsible for this recipe which I picked up early this year while I was in India. It is very easy, very tasty, and takes about ten minutes to make. I love this dish when it is prepared with besan and red chilli powder.
