Capsicum Curry

This Capsicum curry is made in simple way by adding putnala podi (Fried channa daal powder). This is added for the nice flavor. It goes well with the rice as well with chapathi's. It can be preserved about 3days. Sometimes I make little variations to this by excluding putnala podi and adding sessame seeds powder or pea nuts powder or u can grind all 3 of them together and add it. Try the way you like.
