Cooking is just about creativity, how you can transform a simple dish into something exotic. This recipe is from my old books. It is noted as my mum used to make for me as a kid. We usually eat idli with sambar, this is a little twist to the south Indian meal with some Chinese tadka. Amalgamation of the two flavours gives a wonderful taste.
So I started by taking a skillet and adding oil and rye seeds to it. Let it sputter.
Now some onions..
Add some garlic…
Carrots..
Some Yellow Bell Peppers..
Some Red Bell Pepper..
Some Green Bell Peppers..
