Capsicum Varuval


Capsicum varuval is a simple and a tasty side dish for yogurt rice (Thayir Sadham ). We make this scrumptious and juicy dish when capsicum is cheap and available in abundance. 


This veggie delicacy  just needs dry rub to coat capsicum and shallow fry in oil. The dry rub consists of turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder and coriander powder. Capsicum is slow cooked until it sweats in oil and becomes translucent. The lightly colored brown spots in capsicum adds an additional bonus to the flavor.

Ingredients

4 Medium sized Green Bell peppers
4 tsp Oil
1/3 tsp Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp Coriander powder
1/4 tsp Red Chili powder
1/4 tsp cumin powder
Salt

Method

  • Cut the bell peppers in quarts with crown intact

  • Make a smooth paste of all the spices with a little water and season it with salt

  • Apply the spice mixture inside the capsicum without breaking it

  • Heat oil in a pan. Place the bell peppers close to each other and cook in low heat. Rotate occasionally until it turns transparent
  • Serve it as a side dish with curd rice, sambhar or type of lentil curry
