To begin making the Bhopli Mirchi Chi Peeth Perun Bhaji Recipe, prep up all the ingredients required. Dry roast besan till aromatic, on low medium heat. Transfer to a bowl and keep aside.

2

In a pan/kadai, heat oil. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and let them crackle.

3

When they splutter, add hing, curry leaves and red chilli. Later add green chillies and onion. Fry till they turn translucent.

4

Next add capsicum. Cook uncovered for about 5-6 minutes stirring at intervals.

5

When capsicum is crispy but a bit cooked, add turmeric powder, salt, red chilli powder, amchoor powder, coriander powder and cumin powder. Mix well.

6

After a few minutes, sprinkle besan little by little, 1 tablespoon at a time such that it does not get lumpy. Combine well so that no lumps are formed.

7

Then gradually sprinkle the rest of the gram flour while mixing the sabzi well. After you have mixed in all 3 tablespoons of besan, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil and garam masala powder. Mix well.

8

Cook on medium high heat for another 3-4 minutes so that all masala is coated well to capsicum and besan. you can sprinkle a little water to bring everything together, instead of oil and it works the same though.
