                Hi all... Today I am sharing a simple Bell Pepper recipe. The main ingredients are only bell pepper and tamarind. When bell pepper is cooked in tamarind extract, it gives a nice flavor and taste to the curry.

             Green Bell Pepper Curry pairs well with Curd Rice. It can also be served with idli or dosa. 


Prep time: 10 mins         Cook time: 25-30 mins          Yields: 1 1/2 cup

Ingredients
  • 10 Pearl Onions (Chopped finely)
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper (Chopped finely)
  • 2-3pod Garlic (Chopped finely)
  • 2 Green Chili (Slit lengthwise)
  • Few Curry Leaves
  • A small lemon sized Tamarind (Soaked in hot water) (or) 1/4 tsp tamarind concentrate
  • 1/8tsp Turmeric Powder (Optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1tsp Mustard Seeds
  • 1tsp Split Urad Dal
  • 2 1/2tbsp Sesame Oil
Procedure

1. Heat Oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds. When it sputters, add urad dal, green chili and curry leaves. SautĂ© for 30 seconds.



2. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic. SautĂ© for 5 minutes.



3. Add turmeric and salt. SautĂ© for another 5 minutes.

4. Add tamarind extract.
If tamarind concentrate is used, mix it in 1/2 cup water and then add to the bell pepper.



5. Simmer the fire and allow it to cook for 10 minutes. Stir it occasionally.

6. Add 1/3 cup of water and check for taste. Allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes, until the oil separates from the curry.



7. Switch off the flame and let it cool. Kudamilagai Kuzhambu is ready to serve.






It can be refrigerated 15-20 days
