CAPSICUM WITH CHAPPATTI


5 capsicums, cubed into not more than 2cms in size (you can mix red and green)

sliced or chop 2 onions

masala powder (meat masal if preferred)
mustard seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried chillies, star anise

frozen peas (2 table spoons, if desired)

In a pan, add oil and thalichi the usual - mustard seeds, nutmeg, star anise, cinnamon, 2 dried chilled and onions - fry till its fragrant.

Add masala powder (3 tablespoons) - i used meat masala although this is a vege dish

mix altogether, add the capsicums, mix and add a bit of water.

Let it cook, stirring now and then, adding hot water if it dries up until the capsicum is soft. Add salt to taste. When you're stirring and checking, is the masala looks mild or gravy looks thin, you can add more masala if you like. I like it thick with rice but thinner with chapati. When its all cooked, you can add the peas and cook till it is just cooked.

The capsicum is now ready to be served with pita or chapati
