Spicy capsicum with peanuts (Simla mirchicha tikhat)


Ingredients :

2 bowls finely chopped capsicum
1/4 bowl finely chopped green chillies (I use the dark green spicy ones)

1/2 bowl fresh grated coconut
2 Tbsp Oil
1 tsp mustard seeds 
Pinch of hing or asafoetida
1/4 tsp turmeric or haldi powder.
Salt to taste.

Method :

1.In a kadai or pan heat the oil. Add mustard seeds. When seeds crackle add hing and turmeric . Stir for a min.
2. Add the chopped green chilies n stir till white dots appear on the chillies.
3, Add the chopped capsicum and keep stirring occasionally till capsicum is cooked and turns slightly brown.
4. Now add the grated coconut and crushed peanuts. Stir for few more mins till coconut gets slightly brown. Add salt to taste and Mix well 
5. The Mixture (Tikhat) is ready and it can be stored in refrigerator for a few days.


*** Warning ::This one is REALLY SPICY and should be enjoyed only in small quantities. Also its a little higher on the calories due to coconut and crushed peanuts.
