green chillies - 4 to 5
curd - 1 cup
oil  - 1 1\2 tsp
salt to taste
coriander powder - 1 tsp
cumin powder - 1\2 tsp
red chilli powder - 1\2 tsp
garam masala - 1\2 tsp


Wash and cut the capsicum into small pieces. Slit the green chillies into halves. And now beat the curd well and set it aside.
Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the onions and saute for a while till transparent, then add the coriander, garam masala, cumin powder and the capsicum. Cook this on a low flame till the capsicum is tender. Then add the tomatoes and chillies and cook for 5 minutes. Make sure all these are combined well before you add the curds.

Add the beaten curds and cook till the gravy is creamy and thick. Add the salt as much required.
Remove from the fire and keep covered for a while. Garnish with some green chillies and serve for rotis or kulchas.
