This is a very simple recipe which I usually make when I don't want to cook anything real. Just present this with a simple daal or even raita and enjoy the crunchy crispy dish.. And there is also a trick with this one. Whenever I prepared this for dinner, I keep some of it for breakfast the next day. You might think, how to eat this for breakfast ??? Well, I just combine this few eggs and cook it as plain egg bhurji ( scrambled Eggs ) .. Amazing flavor it produces. You might never have tasted such delicious Scrambled Eggs ..
Coming back to this one, I read this in a book from Anjum Anand. She is an amazing cook with lots of books published. I read her books a whenever I get little time,which off course is not much :) This is my favorite way to eat peppers. I generally find peppers a good vegetable to use as a secondary flavorings but not as a main ingredient, whether in a ratatouille, roasted in a salad or as a container to stuff with rice. But having discovered this flavor combination, I actually miss making this dish when I dont make it regularly. Green peppers work best with these flavors as the red version tend to be sweeter. The gram flour adds a savory element and the lemon juice lifts the whole dish. A great accomplishment that works well with both traditional and international dishes.
Ingredients:
1. 3 tsp Vegetable Oil
2. 1 1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
3. 1/2 tsp Turmeric
4. 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
5. 1 tbsp ground Coriander
6. Salt to taste
7. 3 green peppers, cored and cut into 1 cm cubes
8. 5 tbsp Gram flour
9. 1 1/2 tsp Lemon juice
Method:
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the mustard seeds and once they pop out, add all the spices and salt. Lower the heat and cook for 15 min.
Add the peppers and stir fry for 3 minutes or untill starting to soften at the sides.
Add the gram flour and stir fry for another 3 minutes or untill you can smell the gram flour, which means it is now cooked.
If you are not sure,s tir fry for another minute, the only thing that will happen is that peppers will not have as much bite.
Stir in the lemon juice and serve. You can totally sip the lemon juice.
