Combination of onion, tomato and capsicum(bellpeppers) sure to make a tasty and colourful addition to any dish. Along with that I added peanuts, seasame seeds and poppy seeds to make the curry well balanced and nutritious.

Roast and grind
- Peanuts,sesame seeds (ellu), poppy seeds (gasgase) – 1tbsp each

Garnish
- Coriander/cilantro leaves one handfull choppped.
- Wash and chop veggies to big chunks, meanwhile roast the listed ingredients(roast & grind) one by one. Once cool enough, grind them to fine powder (I use coffee grinder to dry grind them. If using wet grinder use little water or tomato paste and grind them to fine paste).
- Heat oil in pan , when hot add cumin seeds. When seeds starts to pop add veggies mix well, cover and cook for about 5 mins. Then add roasted and ground powder or paste. Add tomato paste, brown sugar and chilli powder. Add enough water and salt to taste. Let it cook for 10 or more mins untill the veggies and peanut mixture combines well.
