How to prepare:

1. First Dry roast all the ingredients under 'To make powder' separately and keep aside to get it cool ,then make semi solid powder in a dry grinder.
2. Now add this powder in along with all items (expect Green small capsicum) under 'Ingredients' and grind them to make paste.(not a very fine paste).
3. Heat the cooking oil in a pan add chopped onion and fry for 3-4mins and turn of the heat.
4. Let it cool down for a while and then add the coconut masala paste to it, mix well..(if you like to add chopped coriander then add it as mix well).
5. Wash the capsicum and cut the extra stem (if any) pat dry and make a small hole on the side(just cut the side as shown in the pic to insert the masala inside). Now fill in the masala paste in side the capsicum carefully,do not make big hole or break it.
6. Once all done take wide bottom pan and shallow fry the capsicum by adding coconut oil 1tsp at a time.keep in turn the sides of the capsicum to cook properly(cook in medium flame for about 15-20 mins,or till it is cooked all side).
