Capsicum Kolambu/Capsicum or Bell Pepper Curry

This is something special my mom used to make for us when we were younger, and I like anything with tamrind in it , so here it is. I usually have this with curd rice, but it is also tasty with plain white rice.

Ingredients
2 Capsicum/Bell Pepper (Green or Red, I find the red ones tastier) - into thick strips
3 Garlic Pods - sliced
Tamarind Juice
6 Fenegreek
4 Small onions(shallots)
1/4 Teaspoon Hing(Peringayam)
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Chilli powder
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric powder
1/4 Teaspoon Mustard seed 
 1/4 Teaspoon Urdhal seed

In a pressure cooker,mustard seed , urdhal, fry onions, and garlic, hing and fenegreek . When onions are golden add in Bell Pepper.when the pepper are rice are vibrant in color add in turmeric, salt , chilli, and fry. Add in tamarind and then pressure cook for about 8 minutes, when the Bell pepper is soft. You may need to simmer the mixture.
