2. Once big Onion - chopped

1. Cut capcicum in thin long slices and microwave for 2 mins. Take oil in a pan and add the capcicum peices. Fry for 2 mins and keep aside.
2. Fry dhania and grind to a fine powder.
3. Take oil in a pan and add jeera, turmeric powder and add onion. 4. After frying for a minute, add tomatoes and fry for another minute.
5. Now add dhaniya powder, chillie powder and fresh coconut (optional).
6. Now allow to cool and grind this mixture in a fine paste. you should get a bright orange color. If not then it means you have not added enough tomato. Chop and add one more to the paste and grind.
