Method
Wash the capsicum, curry leaves and green chillies. Remove the capsicum seeds and cut it into thin strips. Peel and thinly slice the onion, and slit the green chillies. Pat the curry leaves dry so they do not splutter in hot oil.
Heat oil in a kadai on medium flame for 1 minute until hot. Add mustard seeds and fry for 30 seconds until they splutter. Add curry leaves and green chilli, and fry for 30 seconds until the leaves stop crackling.
Add the sliced onion and salt. Fry on medium flame for 5 minutes until the onion turns soft and light golden.
Add the capsicum, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and coriander powder. Mix well and fry on medium flame for 7 to 8 minutes until the capsicum is cooked but still holds its shape.
Cook uncovered on low flame for 1 to 2 minutes until the extra moisture dries and the vegetable looks dry. Turn off the flame and serve warm.
