Capsicum Masala

The capsicum masala is usually prepared using green capsicum but this time I tried with all the three colour capsicum i.e red bell pepper, yellow pepper along with green. It was really good taste. With grated  coconut and roasted peanut powder made the capsicum masala more delicious and colourful.
