# Method Of Making....
# Firstly wash capsicums and tomatoes well in the water. Keep aside.
Then chopp the capsicums and 3 tomatoes in cubes evenly, Keep ready like the following picture.
Then place a kadhai on the medium flame....just add oil. As the oil heats up...add chopped capsicums along with little salt and turmeric powder...saute and fry them till 80 percent soft.
For this, saute capsicum cubes for 2 minutes and cover a lid to cook.
After 2 minutes...open the lid and saute again.
Repeat this process 3 times for 2 minutes likewise.
Meanwhile, keep ready other rest tomatoes, green chillies and ginger by making its coarse gravy...not its paste.
I have crushed the tomatoes in the following magic chopper.
Tiny chunks of green chillies, ginger and tomatoes bring a nice texture and taste.
As the cubes of Shimla Mirch get fried. Off the flame.
just put the fried cubes of capsicums aside the kadhai...so that it could release its oil.
Like the following picture..
Just Cover the pan for 2 minutes...it will fasten the process of releasing the extra oil.
Just see the following picture... oil is seperated.
Take out the Fried Green capsicums in a plate.
Now... on the flame and heat the same oil...as the oil heats up....add cumin seeds, pinch of asafoetida and turmeric powder.
Saute it and immediately add crushed puree of tomatoes, green chillies and ginger.
Mix it well and cover the pan to cook.
Cover it for 2 minutes on slow flame.
As the tomatoes gravy is cooked and has become shiny...means seperating a little oil again. It is done.
Add 50 ml. water in the gravy. Make it boil on the medium high flame.
Just add fried capsicums and chopped cubes of tomatoes.
Saute the curry for a minute.
Add garam masala, red chillie powder, lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves.
Mix it well. Off the flame.
Capsicum Tomatoe Masala Curry is ready to enjoy.
Serve it with a slice of a lemon and green chillie.
In this way, you can make this delicious and healthy recipe instantly with less oil and less home ingredients.
# Things to consider
1. You can make this curry adding sweet corn, paneer and other veggies as choice.
2. If you like more crunchy taste of capsicums...then fry and cook the shimla mirch cubes till 50 percent only.
But 80 percent cooking helps in better digestion.
3. You can add coarsely grounded peanuts ( moongfali ) in this curry at the final stage.
It will taste nice like South Style.
4. You can serve this curry as starter.
5. You can add chopped green chillies and ginger at the time of last cooking as taste.
Thanku Friends,
Thanks again.
