Capsicum Tomato Gotsu

This is a very popular side for Pongal in South India...although the eggplant version of the same is more common as compared to the capsicum version.

Ingredients

1 medium sized capsicum
1 medium sized tomato
2 cups cooked green gram dal
Salt to taste
1 tsp oil
2 green chillies
A small lemon sized tamarind soaked in water and juice extracted
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp blackgram dal
1/4 tsp ginger paste
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
Few curry leaves

Heat oil, add mustard and blackgram dal. When it splutters, add ginger paste, curry leaves, green chillies, turmeric powder, capsicum cut into small pieces and tomatoes. Fry for a minute and add tamarind extract. When it comes to a boil, add salt, green gram dal and mix well. Cook for five minutes on low flame.

Serve with pongal, idli or dosa. Goes well with rotis too..
