Hello,
 This is a simple recipe with bell peppers (capsicum). i prefer
 using green peppers - you can experiment with it!
 I eat this with dal and rice.
 Ingredients
 --------
 3-4 peppers, diced 
 3-4 Tbsp chick-pea flour
 1-2 Tbsp oil ( i prefer peanut oil)
 a pinch of turmeric
 1-2 tsp chilli powder (to taste)
 salt to taste
 1 Tbsp cumin seeds
 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
 (optional - peanuts, chana dal, urad dal :
 this makes it crunchy
 optional - a pinch of asafoetida)
 Heat oil in a pan. add mustard seeds when the oil is smoking. Wait
 for the seeds to sputter. Add cumin seeds, (optional) dals, peanuts,
 asafoetida.  Drop the peppers in. Add turmeric, chilli powder and
 salt. Saute till the peppers are slightly tender. Add the chickpea
 flour and mix well. Saute till the flour makes a nice golden brown
 crust.
 Serve hot with dal and rice.
