Courgette And Green Pepper 'Sabzi' (Tori Aur Hari Mirch Ki Sabzi - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil or 3 tablespoons corn oil
1 pinch ground asafoetida powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1/4 teaspoon whole brown mustard seeds
1 1/4 lbs courgettes (560g, peeled and cut into 4-cm or 1 1/2-inch long and 1-cm /1/2-inch thick fingers)
1 large green pepper, about 7 oz (200g)
2 tablespoons natural yoghurt
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt (or a bit more)
1/2 teaspoon chat masala (or 1 pinch of cayenne pepper and 1 tablespoon lemon juice)

Preparation

Pour the oil into a large pan or wok and set over a medium-high heat.
When the oil is hot, put in first the asafetida and then, in quick succession, the cumin and mustard seeds. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop, a matter of seconds, add the courgette and the green pepper. Stir and fry for five minutes.
Add the yoghurt, and cook, stirring, until it has been absorbed (It will curdle, but the dish will look nice at the end).
Reduce the heat to low and add the coriander and salt. Sir for a minute.
Add the chaat masala and toss. Taste for balance of flavours.
