May 28, 2014 Bell Pepper/CapsicumDry Sabji  8 comments

Capsicum Besan Sabji is a quick stir fry recipe that goes well with rice or roti. It can be made easily with the ingredients commonly available in your pantry. This is a favorite since my childhood. The flavour & crunchines of capsicum along with the aroma of besan is heavenly. I would love to pack these for lunch wrapped in a roti or with a simple curd rice.

Now to the recipe…

Tips:

  1. Do not overcook the capsicum, they must be crunchy.
  2. Make sure to get rid of the raw smell of besan, else the capsicum besan sabji will not taste good. U can dry roast the besan first and then add finally too.
