Capsicum Kadi!

Kadi is a traditional Gujarati dish made using curd, hence the name. There is an interesting incident as to how I came up with this dish. Here it goes....

One morning my hubby was busy with his office call, which made me think that he would be leaving for work after a while....that would give me plenty of time to make a traditional side dish for rice. But, it so happened that he told me he would be leaving in next 10 minutes as there was an important meeting in the office! This time was not sufficient to make a traditional sambar, or any other side dish. That is when this recipe came to my rescue!!
    From the above information you must have learnt that this is a quick dish!

Ingredients:
Capsicum / Bell peppers-2 (Green, Red).
Curry leaves-few.
Red chillies- 2 no.
Jeera/Cumin- 1 tbsp.
Besan flour- 2 tbsp.
Curd-1/2 cup.
Chilli powder-1 teaspoon.
Garam masala-1 teaspoon.
Oil- 4 tbsp.
Salt.


Method:
Start off by chopping the bell peppers into bite size pieces.
Take a wok or a heavy bottom pan, and heat the oil.
Add the cumin seeds, red chillies, and curry leaves to the hot oil followed by bell peppers.
Fry the peppers till tender. 
At this point mix the besan flour with curd and make it into a smooth paste.
Add the besan mixture into the pan, if the mixture is thick add enough water. 
Once the mixture  starts to boil, add the chilli powder and garam masala.
Allow the Kadi to boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add salt to taste.
 Kadi is ready. 


Note: Serve with Hot Rice and Ghee!
