Tomato and Capsicum Curry

I thought I should do some justice to my blog url for naming it Capsicum and Tomatoes.

Well, my stint with cooking a meal (or something like that) began with tomatoes and capsicum !

I fondly recollect those days when we girls rented a house at Velachery, where our cooking saga began with the Tomato and Capsicum Curry..

I love this dish for the ease of preparation, the simple and fulfilling taste it offers with the splash of red and green color - a humble feast in itself :)

Here we go!

Tomato and Capsicum Curry

Ingredients (Serves 2):

Diced Tomatoes - 4
Capsicum (Green bell pepper) diced into medium squares - (remove seeds)
Sambar powder - 2 tsp
Mustard- 1/2 tsp
Urad dal - 1/2 tsp
Refined oil -1 tsp
Salt -As per requirement

Method:

1. Heat oil in kadai. When the oil heats up, add mustard and urad dal
2. When the mustard splutters, add the diced capsicum, stir fry till the capsicum is softened but still a little crisp.
3. Then add diced tomatoes and sambar powder and salt. Cook on a low medium flame for 3-4 mins, until the tomato softens.

Once cooked, remove from flame.

This dish goes well with rice, dosa. Also it tastes best when served with rotis and creamy yoghurt.
