    • 2 large green bell peppers/capsicums
    • 2 tbsps vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil
    • 1 tsp cumin seeds
    • 3 tbsps finely chopped garlic

    • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
    • 1/2 tsp raw mango powder(Amchur)

Tips

This should turn out crisp and dry so cooking on a low flame with no water helps get the texture right. If it begins to stick...sprinkle water on the wok to cool it down as opposed to putting it on the vegetables.


Directions

• Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan on a medium flame. Add the cumin seeds and fry till spluttering stops.
• Add garlic and fry till soft.
• Add chopped onions and fry till slightly brown.
• Add the potatoes and powdered spices. Season with salt to taste and mix well.
• Cook till potatoes are done, stirring frequently and gently (to avoid breakign up potatoes). Sprinkle some water only if needed.
• Add the capsicum and cook for 2 more minutes. Sprinkle the garam masala powder and cover immediately.
• Serve hot with Chapatis (Indian flatbread) or plain boiled rice
