Notes

  1.  Besan flour can be used instead of nuts powder. Sauté besan separately till the raw smell goes off and add it to the curry 
  2. Nuts of choice can be used
  3. Stir the capsicum once in a while to avoid capsicum sticking to the pan and turn brown
  4. I have added salt in multiple times to avoid adding water, make sure you dont overpower salt. If required sprinkle very little water 
  5. Avoid cooking the capsicum by closing the pan with lid. It might turn capsicum soggy  
  6.  If you are trying this for other vegetables like beans, carrot, beetroot etc add water and cook
