Method:
- Dry roast besan flour for 3-5mins in low flame, it should not change color but the raw smell should not be there.Set aside.Chop capsicum and keep it ready.I used tri-colored capsicum.
- In a pan heat a tsp of oil , add the items listed under 'to temper', then add garlic and onion and fry till onions turn transparent.Then add capsicum.
- Fry for 2mins then add required salt,red chilli powder and coriander powder.Mix well.Thn add roasted besan flour.
- Keep sauteing and roast well.Add oil in between if its starts to stick.When it becomes golden switch off.
My Notes:
- Make sure besan flour has no raw smell, it should be aromatic.Keep in low flame and roast.
- You can make this subzi with just green capsicum and onion too.
