Capsicum /Green BellPepper - 1  cut into cubes (when cut it has to be 1 cereal bowl)

Turmeric - 1/4 tsp

coriander for garnishing

Take a Pan and heat it . Keep the heat on the medium. Add oil to it.
When it is hot add the seasoning of Mustard, urad .
When it splutters add the onion , curry leaves and sauté for few minutes. While sautéing the onions I usually add the salt and turmeric. As for as I know I feel cooking process gets faster.
After few minutes add the tomatoes and keep sautéing till the tomatoes get cooked .
Add the chili powder/sambhar powder/Curry Powder to it.

I added curry powder.
Then add the chopped Capsicum to it and sauté it  for few minutes before adding 1/4 cup of water and close the pan to cook for few minutes.

Then add the thuvar dhal to it and mix it well.
