Yumm. The only thing is, we slightly roast the besan before adding. We almost always have our bell peppers this way. Yumm. The only thing is, we slightly roast the besan before adding.

I knew to cook uncovered after the besan was added, but not before. Didn't know about the tender, matured bell peppers either. I will try this recipe tomorrow. Have some bell peppers.

Hosting service problem. The site is back up again. If it's not appearing, please click on "Refresh". It does the trick, sometimes. The site needs another upgrade, because of cost factor involved, we are hesitating a bit to take that step. I am extremely sorry for this inconvenience! Hi Kay and TBC: I faced that problem too. Usually stir-fryng open, no lid cover, plus high heat cooking, particularly in the last stages, reduces the water amount in the skillet and helps to prevent the besan paste formation. Also I have noticed old bell peppers sweat out a lot compared to young ones. Young, firm fleshed ones are the best for this type of recipe. My two cents. Hope this helps. Hi Aparna: Thanks. The patterns are from the rolling pin that I use. They are regular chapatis, no rumali magic at all.:) Just wheat flour, salt and warm water and an hour rest to the dough. That's it. Hi Laxmi: Yes, I blogged another recipe brinjal and besan combination. That one tastes even better. About photography: I listed few books in Amazon photography ad in the sidebar. They are all good and useful. Please check them out. Due to high volume traffic, the site had slowed down a bit. Hosting service problem. The site is back up again.

This is such a simple recipe. My question is the same as Kay's. Evertime I make this, the besan forms a paste :-( Any tips/suggestions would be welcome.Thanks! Hi Indira,
