Besan-Coated Capsicum Recipe

By Uma Abhyankar March 30, 2015

Besan coated capsicum recipe, also called 'peeth perun bhaji' in Marathi, is a dry form of cooking capsicums or green peppers. That makes it ideal to pack with chapati, and enjoy during travel. Try eating with some yogurt for accompaniment.

Ingredients

  • Capsicums (Green Peppers) - 2 medium sized
  • Oil - 4 tsp
  • Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Asafoetida (Hing) - pinch
  • Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Red chili powder - 2 tsp
  • Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Sugar - 1/2 tsp
  • Salt - To taste
  • Gram flour (besan) - 4 tbsp

Instructions

  1. Cut 2 medium size capsicums (green pepper) into halves. Remove all the seeds.
  2. Cut into 1" big square pieces.
