Capsicum & Cashewnut Sukka
This is a 'Capsicum Cashewnut Sukka' based on the 'Goan Sukka Masala'. This is another recipe that's special to me. I had many green bell peppers / capsicums lying in my refrigerator lately after Christmas and New Years food preparations. Decided to make some veg preparation with them (needed a break from non-veg food). Thought of preparing Capsicum with the Goan styled sukka masala. Then decided to add cashewnuts as well to make it richer. So, here goes my Capsicum & Cashewnut Sukka Recipe. Do give it a try , trust me ...You will love it !

I tried the Capsicum and Cashewnut Sukha but I used grated dry coconut (instead of fresh coconut) which was readily available at home. Thanks for the recipe- it turned out to be a delicious dish.
