Capsicum bhaji episode..

Hello All,

This post is just to describe my husband's innovative thinking.. Well, i appreciate it..! A friend of his said, 'Ishwar thinks differently'.. This is just to support it.. :)

If any of you have not tasted the capsicum bhaji(pakoda) @ gandhi bazar (bengalooru), this is how it looks like..(thnx to harsha for de pic..:))

Its made like  any other bhajis. its served with a salad mixture of onion, carrot and coriander, and lemon juice as a filling in the sliced bhaji and served in bale yele (banana leaf).. yumm..! my mouth's already watering..

Just to showcase his cooking skills and to prove he is more experienced than me, Ishwar wanted to make capsicum bhaji..! He had eaten this lot many times as it was served in India but, had no clue how its made..!

So, here's how he goes..

1. Takes few capsicum and scoots of the seeds and makes it completely hollow.
2. Makes a salad or mixture of onion, coriander (no carrot, cos he thought carrot would add in sweet and he wanted to make extremely spicy filling) as a filling with lemon and chat masala to flavor it.
3. Now he fills the filling he made into the scooted filling and microwaves it for some random time. ( Till this time I'd no clue of what he was trying to make and all this while he acted as though a trained chef and had made that dish many times and I was just standing at the kitchen door wondering as to what is this interesting dish..:) )
4. After he thinks the capsicum is half cooked with the filling, takes it out of the microwave and dips it in the batter prepared for any bhaji and starts frying it...! Now I know what he was up to.. the same old capsicum bhaji found on the streets of Bangalore and also i discover that he had never ever made it..!

Yes, Ishwar thinks different..!
