Capsicum is a kind of vegetable grown in every parts of this country as well as in the tropical climate of other countries of this world. It can be found in three bright colors of red, green and yellow and also be known as red, green or yellow pepper, bell pepper or by simply the capsicum. Apart from its a special kind of flavor and tastes it has also some nutritional value. It has proteins, fats, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and other nutritional compounds.
Regular use of capsicum is believed to be helpful for those who are suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure and it also help to smooth your skin and your eyesight. I am giving here a simple recipe made with capsicum.
Ingredients: Capsicums: 200 gms, Gram or Chana dal: 200 gms, Chilli powder: 1 tsp, Sweet/white oil: 100 gm, Mustard Seed: 1/4 tsp, Coriander leaves: 1 bunch, Salt: to taste.
Method: Soak the gram dal for 2 to 3 hours and when soft, grind with the grinder. Add chilli powder, turmeric, salt, some of the chopped coriander leaves and about 2 to 3 tsp of oil. Mix well. Slit the capsicums lengthwise and scoop out the seeds, leaving the stems intact. Stuff them with the filling. Heat the oil in a pan and put the mustard seeds. Arrange the stuffed capsicums in the hot oil, cover and cook on a low fire till the color changes to light brown. When done, remove, garnish with the rest of the chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
