This is one of the earliest dishes I learnt form my mother-in-law. This Onion-Tomato-Capsicum Gojju is a staple in our household &  is something that can be put together in 15-20 minutes  & makes a great side dish with chapatis.

This is a typical Karnataka Style recipe that uses Saarina Pudi/Rasam Powder as the main flavoring ingredient. A little bit of jaggery to balance the spice from Rasam Powder & tartness from the tomatoes. 

They go really well with Chapatis/Jolada Rotti/Akki Rotti 

Also, one must use only Green Capsicum here & not the colored ones as Green Capsicum is more sharp in taste & texture as compared to the colored ones 

You Will Need:

• Heat Oil in a wok, add mustard seeds 
• Once it splutters, Add curry leaves . Later add Channa Dal & Urad Dal
• Once they start changing color, Add onions & saute for a minute or two
• Add tomatoes , Capsicum & Rasam Powder & saute for a couple of minutes
• Add a small piece of jaggery & salt as per taste. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes till capsicum turns slightly soft. 
• Add 1 cup of water to get the right consistency 
• Cook on low flame for 5 mins
