Hello foodies,
Today's recipe is a very simple recipe of the humble green capsicum. Usually green capsicum is paired with potatoes/aloo, but today's version involves upgrading this humble vegetable with a dash of besan/gram flour. Not only does this besan/gram flour make the vegetable more tasty, it adds so much nuttiness and aroma to the vegetable. This humble recipe can be put together with a very few ingredients and takes very little time to prepare. Generally for me this is a recipe which I pack for my lunch when I am in a rush-rush situation.
I picked up this recipe from my newly married friend, she used roasted besan for the vegetable, whereas I have used un-roasted besan/gram flour. It takes a tad bit longer to cook than the roasted version probably. But the end result turns out to be same nonetheless. So, let's get cooking...

Ingredients (you will need):
Green Capsicum, chopped - 1
Salt, to taste
Red Chilli Powder, 1/2 tsp
Turmeric Powder, 1/2 tsp
Amchoor Powder/Khatai/Dried Mango Powder, 1/2 tsp
Garam Masala, 1/4 tsp
Cumin seeds, 1/2 tsp
Refined Oil/ Ghee/Clarified Butter, 1 tablespoon
Gram
Cooking steps:
1. In a pan/kadai, heat oil/ghee and add cumin seeds/jeera, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, amchoor powder and coriander powder. Let the spices saute a bit, around 10-20 seconds.
2. Add washed and cubed capsicum pieces.
3. Add gram flour. I take 1 tbsp of besan/gram flour per capsicum. Here, I have used 2 capsicums so I have added 2 tbsp of besan/gram flour. Along with the besan add salt as per your taste.
4. Mix everything well. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or till the capsicum are a bit on the tender side. Switch off the flame.
5. Spicy and tasty capsicum with gram flour is ready to be eaten. Serve with pooris/paranthas of your choice. You can also serve it as an accompaniment with your main rice dish.
