In a pan/kadai, heat oil. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and let them crackle.
When they splutter, add hing, curry leaves and red chilli. Later add green chillies and onion. Fry till they turn translucent.
Next add capsicum. Cook uncovered for about 5-6 minutes stirring at intervals.
When capsicum is crispy but a bit cooked, add turmeric powder, salt, red chilli powder, amchoor powder, coriander powder and cumin powder. Mix well.
After a few minutes, sprinkle besan little by little, 1 tablespoon at a time such that it does not get lumpy. Combine well so that no lumps are formed.
Then gradually sprinkle the rest of the gram flour while mixing the sabzi well. After you have mixed in all 3 tablespoons of besan, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil and garam masala powder. Mix well.
Cook on medium high heat for another 3-4 minutes so that all masala is coated well to capsicum and besan. you can sprinkle a little water to bring everything together, instead of oil and it works the same though.
