Step 1: Prepare the Capsicum Wash the capsicums, cut the tops, and remove the seeds carefully. Keep them aside for stuffing. (Using evenly sized capsicums helps in uniform cooking and presentation.) Step 2: Make the Soy Stuffing Heat 2 tbsp of Purti Soyalite Oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Add onions and sauté till soft. Mix in ginger-garlic paste and cook briefly. Add soaked soy granules and cook for 3 - 4 minutes. Add turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder, and salt and mix well. Finish with garam masala and fresh coriander. Cool slightly, then stuff this mixture into each capsicum. Step 3: Lightly Cook the Stuffed Capsicums Heat 1 tbsp oil in a flat pan. Place the stuffed capsicums, cover, and cook on a low flame until slightly tender but still holding their shape. Step 4: Prepare the Tomato Gravy Heat 2 tbsp of Purti Soyalite Oil in a pan. Sauté onions till golden. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook till aromatic. Pour in tomato puree and cook until the oil separates. Add turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder, salt, and sugar. Add water and simmer to a smooth, light gravy consistency. (Tomato-based gravies are typically cooked until soft and well blended for a smooth texture ) Step 5: Final Assembly Gently place the stuffed capsicums into the simmering gravy. Cover and cook for 8–10 minutes on low heat so the flavours blend beautifully. Serving Suggestions (Serve hot with the following):- - Roti / Phulka
