    Today's dish is from a Telugu cooking show. The combination of pepper and coconut sounded interesting and so I tried it right away. It is definitely a different and delicious combination. For the second day of cooking with Capsicum under 1 Vegetable 3 dishes, I have a Capsicum Coconut Curry. This has been in the draft for so long that I almost forgot about it. I picked up capsicum only for this draft and wanted to make different varieties.

    A few months ago, we ended up picking capsicum every time we did vegetable shopping. So we always had this on the stock. On one of the occasions, when I was wondering what else to make, Amma suggested this recipe that she saw in a Telugu TV show. she made a note because it was so different from the usual way we make capsicum. Later I was even surprised when Pavani had made the same. Imagine she posted this way back in 2014, I really can't believe it!

    Anyway, we have made this couple of times, only I never came around posting this.

    It's been a while since I shared my lunchbox, though I seem to have reached 83 in the series. I know sometimes I don't get time to actually click the packed box. I hope I get to do better in that area!


    Capsicum Coconut Masala

    Ingredients Needed:

    Capsicums - 2 medium, chopped into big pieces
    Coconut paste - 3 tbsp
    Green Chilies - 2 nos slit

    Ginger Garlic paste - 3/4 tsp
    Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
    Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
    Turmeric a pinch
    Salt to taste
    Oil - 2 tsp

    How to Make the Curry

      For some reason the dish seemed familiar until I read that I made it myself 🙂 It is indeed an interesting combination.
