Green Pepper Sabzi

This is NOT your regular green pepper sabzi. It's a green pepper (capsicum) and besan (gram flour) sabzi. I had it at SB's place a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I have yet to try it myself.
Ingredients:

2 Green Peppers
4 Tbs Besan
1 Tbs Ghee
1 Tbsp Jeera (cumin seeds)
1 Tsp Red chilli powder
Salt to taste

Method:
Cut capsicum into large pieces, add 1 tbsp of oil in a pan and cook without a lid on medium heat. All the water has to evaporate. Meanwhile add ghee 1-2tbsp in a small pan, add Jeera 1tbsp and let it roast. Then add sifted Besan to this pan and let it roast till the mixture turns golden brown. Once done, add the besan mixture to the capsicum and mix well and cover. Before turning the stove off, add salt and red chilli powder. You can alternatively try the Dry Garlic powder available in Indian stores, or idli podi.

I enjoyed this vegetable with rice, dal and a dollup of ghee.
