Instructions
For the paste
- Grind grated coconut, green chillies, ginger, garlic to a fine paste and keep it ready.
- Chop capsicum into small pieces. Chop onion and tomatoes into small pieces and keep it aside.
For the curry
- Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, when it splutters, add curry leaves.
- Add finely chopped onions, little salt and saute until onions turn golden brown.
- Add chopped tomatoes, salt needed and all the spice powder mentioned under "Spice Powder".
- Cook until tomatoes become mushy. If you feel, it is too dry, you may add 1 or 2 tbsp of water. Since the tomatoes I used were juicy, I did not add water.
- Add the ground coconut paste and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add the chopped capsicum and cook covered, stirring in between.
- If needed sprinkle little water and cook covered.
- Once cooked, add 1/4 cup of water and cook for a further 5 minutes on medium heat.
- Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot as a side dish for rice, chapati, parathas or flavored rice. This curry can also be mixed with rice to make a delicious one pot meal. You can serve with chips or papads or raitha as side dish for it (in that case, do not add that 1/4 cup water).
