Raitha has always
been one of our favorite yogurt based dish. I never knew it could be made with
Capsicum too until I saw it in a food group in FB by Jaya Venugopal.
This is easy to make
and is called Polthein in Konkani or simply call it Capsicum raitha.
I have made it many a times and even used colour capsicumand onion too it
just tastes WOW.
Here is what we need
1 big sized capsicum
1 cup yogurt/curds slightly sour
Freshly grated coconut – 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
A tsp oil
For Seasoning:
1 tsp oil
½ tsp mustard seeds,
¼ th tsp urad dal
½ tsp jeera/cumin seeds
1 red chilli broken into bits
A pinch of hing
Curry leaves few
Recipe:
Chop capsicum into small bits. Sauté well in oil(add salt to taste) ,should be crisp, don’t overcook it. Then in the sour curds add 1 table spoon of coconut grating which is optional (I Have skipped it)Add the cooked capsicum in the curd and season with urad dal mustard,jeera,dried red chillies or green chillies,hing,curry leaves.
