Capsicum, Tomato and Onion Sabzi

This recipe is from my hostel days and fond memories come rushing back to me whenever I make this. Back then the hostel mess used to be closed on sunday evenings and we (my hostel mates and I) were left to fend for our dinner. The credit for this recipe goes to my friend Chaitali (who is an excellent cook). Together we had cooked this sabzi many a sunday evening..............

Ingredients :

2  large capsicums finely chopped
4 medium tomatoes finely chopped
3 medium onions finely chopped
5-6 tbsp tomato sauce
3-4 amul cheese cubes (grated)
1/2 tsp jeera
3-4 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp haldi
2-3 tsp dhania powder
1/4 tsp garam masala
Salt to taste
Chilly powder to taste.
A pinch of sugar. 

Method :

Heat oil in a kadai. Add jeera.
When it sputters, add finely chopped onions and saute till light brown.
Then add tomatoes and saute till tomatoes are well fried.
Lastly add capsicums and saute for a few minutes till they are cooked but not over-soft.
Add haldi, chilly powder, garam masala, dhania powder, salt, sugar and mix well.
Thereafter add the tomato sauce and the grated cheese and mix well till the cheese melts completely.
Serve hot with rotis or slices of hot toasted bread.
