Method

Preparing the veggies:

  • First up, rinse and slice the capsicums. Ensure they are neither too thin nor too thick. 
  • Remove the seeds, and you can cut the capsicum into small squares.
  • Next up, chop the onions, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes.

 

Preparing the curry paste:

  • Take a pan and heat some oil.
  • Then add the peanuts, sesame seeds, coriander seeds, and poppy seeds.
  • Now fry these on a low heat for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • After this, add the chopped ginger and garlic to sauté for about a minute.
  • Next, add the chopped onions. 
  • Make sure to mix and stir very well, and sauté the onions till they turn light brown. 
  • Next up, add the desiccated coconut and mix very well.
  • Now, on a low heat, keep stirring without a pause and roast till the coconut turns golden. 
  • Then, let this roasted mixture cool completely, and then add it to a grinder or blender along with the tamarind.
  • Grind or blend to a smooth and very fine paste by adding water as required.
  • Once done, keep the paste aside.

 

Making Capsicum Curry:

  • In the same pan, heat some oil once again. 
  • Reduce the flame and then add mustard seeds.
  • Once you see the mustard seeds crackle, add the fenugreek seeds and curry leaves. 
  • Sauté for a few seconds and then add the chopped tomatoes.
  • Once done, sprinkle some salt on the tomatoes to cook faster.
  • Keep stirring and sauté the tomatoes till they turn soft.
  • Next up, add the sliced capsicums.
  • Keep the heat to medium and stir and sauté the capsicums for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Now, reduce the heat and add the paste you made earlier.
  • Then add some turmeric powder and chili powder and mix very well.
  • Now sauté for a couple of minutes, but make sure to keep stirring as the paste can stick to the pan easily.


Cooking Capsicum Curry:

  • Now, add some water to the pan and mix well.
  • Add the jaggery powder and salt as per taste.
  • Next to add will be the garam masala. 
  • Now keep stirring and simmer the curry on a low to medium heat till the capsicum slices are cooked. 
  • Then, when you see oil specks on top, that is a signal that the capsicum gravy is done. 
  • Keep stirring at intervals while the gravy simmers. 
  • Finally, serve the Capsicum Curry hot with paratha, roti, naan, rice, pulao, or biryani.
