Masala Capsicum

What to make for a quick lunch? Today is grocery day and the only thing I had left in my fridge this morning was green bell pepper & onions. Kinda short for ingrediants I whipped up this tasty dry side to go along with the Lemon rice I made for my husbands' lunch. It cooks very fast & it is one of those no-brainer dishes.

Ingrediants
1 tbs oil
1 tsp cumin seed
1 tsp mustard seed
1 whole red chilli
1 green chilli, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, minced
1 whole bell pepper, diced
1/2 large onion, diced
salt to taste
1/2 tsp tumeric
1 tbs corriander pwd
2 tbs sherreded coconut
cilantro to garnish

Directions
Heat the oil in a open fry pan, add the cumin, mustard seed, red chilli, green chilli, ginger & garlic. Saute onions till they are pink,together with the salt and tumeric. Then add the peppers, on med-low flame, cook without covering the pan, as this will make the peppers go mushy and loose the texture you are looking for. The peppers should be cooked in 5-7 mins. If it starts to burn in this process add a dash of water. garish with shredded coconut and cilantro.

Serve hot with rice/roti & dal
