3) Add chopped onions, salt, cinammon, cloves and cardamom along with paprika and saute till the onions turn translucent.
Cardamom is a spice well known for aiding digestion.
4) Add the bell peppers, stir and cover. Let it cook for about fifteen minutes or till the peppers turn soft. Stir frequently (around every two minutes). Ensure the flame is on small to mid intensity. You can have the veggies as they are or add coconut milk.

The coconut milk is added to aid digestion and combat hyperacidity. However, it does have a high fat content, so you want to be careful how much you use.

This makes six half cup servings.
