Next capsicum, peas (I boiled peas before hand)
Cook these vegetables until they are
partially roasted.
Remember not to over cook the vegetables. They
should not be mashy.
Next add yogurt. Mix well.

Pressurize it for 15 minutes. If needed place a
tawa underneath the handi for extra minutes of cooking.
