I guess I made it just in time. This is my entry for RCI - Maharashtrian Cuisine - hosted by Nupur from One Hot Stove. Green bell peppers sauteed in a mixture of besan and spices lend a delicious twist to this Maharastrian curry.Ingredients
4 green bell peppers
1/2 cup besan (chickpea flour) - increase the quantity of besan if you like
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp peanut powder (optional)
1/2 tsp dhania powder
A pinch of asafoetida
1 tsp mustard seeds
Salt to taste
Chopped cilantro for garnish
Oil as needed
Method
1. Wash and chop the bell peppers into square pieces.
2. Pour oil in a pan and season with mustard and asafoetida.
3. Add the bell peppers and turmeric powder sauté until half cooked on medium flame.
4. Make a dry mixture of besan, red chilli powder, dhania powder, peanut powder and salt and add to the bell peppers.
5. Continue cooking on a medium flame until the bell peppers turn golden brown.
6. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.

i remembe eating this once, and it was delish. thanks for the recipe, lakshmi.
Thanks Nupur. Really happy I could send in an entry on time.
Thanks Bee. One of my friends also suggested stuffing the mixture into the bell pepper and shallow frying. That tastes delicious too.
Looks SO good.
Make a similar bhaaji using just onions or spring onions. I'm sure you'll like it.
Hi to the cooker,
Thanks for the tip. I also read somewhere that we can use regular onions or even cabbage.
It looks yummy and spicy lakshmi. Viji
I have chopped bell peppers at home and wasn't sure waht to do with them, this is it then

This is so tasty,isn't it? I make this too! U can also try a variation, using cabbage , tastes good too! I have blogged that version.
Yes Viji. It is spicy but you can moderate the spice levels. But the spicier, the better.
Thanks Sharmi.
