Here is how you make Capsicum (Bell Pepper) Besan Zhunka:

1. Cut the bell pepper into inch wide pieces. Remember to discard the seeds. Cut the green onion into tiny circular slices. Mince the ginger. Slit the chillis in half ? discard the seeds inside if you want the dish to not be as spicy. 2. Sift the gram flour if required. On medium low, heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and saute the gram flour for 5 minutes. This allows the gram flour to roast and gives a really good flavor to the dish.3. Heat 2 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium high heat. Once it?s hot (test by dropping a couple of cumin seeds, they should sizzle), add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric and hing (asafetida). Allow them to pop a bit (about 30 seconds). Then add the bell peppers and green chillis. Stir to combine and cook for about 2 minutes. 4. Lower heat to medium. Then add cayenne pepper, salt and coriander powder. Stir. Add the gram flour. Stir to combine. After 5 minutes, stir and cover with a lid.5. Sprinkle about 1/4 ? 1/2 cup of water over the gram flour. Stir to combine and then cover for another 5 ? 7 minutes (long enough for the water to evaporate and gram flour to cook). Repeat this a few times till the gram flour is cooked. You?ll know it?s cooked when the gram flour texture changes ? it?ll be fluffy and not sticky.6. Add the garam masala. Stir to combine. Cover and let it cook again for about 5 minutes. Once done, serve topped with shredded coconut and fresh coriander leavesServing Size:?6-8Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RENOODLE.
