CAPSICUM STIR FRY
Capsicum / Bell Pepper Stir Fry is a dry curry or poriyal variety simple and easy to make. This is perfect to serve as side dish for pulao , roti or rice varieties. The crunchy texture of capsicum and roasted besan flour gives nice flavor and taste to the poriyal.
Today i made this with red and green color capsicum. You can also use multi color or only with green capsicum. Lets look at the method to make this stir fry.

3. Now add the turmeric powder, sambar powder and hing. Mix evenly . Then add chopped capsicum and salt to taste.

My Notes :
1. You can add Garam masala instead of hing.
2. Do not cover and cook as it will leave water and make the subzi soggy.
3. Multi color / Single color capsicum can be used to make the curry.
4. Make sure to dry roast the besan in a low flame for 10 minutes.
