Once they splutter add curry leaves, red chili and green chili .Add onion, green peas, turmeric and salt. Saute it till the raw smell of onion goes away.Once it is done, add chopped capsicum and cook it for 3-4 minutes.Once the capsicum is cooked half, add vangibath powder, tamarind juice and mix everything well.
