Ingredients:
Bell Peppers (Green, Red and Yellow) - 1/4 cup each, cut into cubes
Onions - 1 cup, thinly sliced
Tomato - 1/4 cup, pureed
Red Chili Powder - 2 tsps (adjust according to your taste)
Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
Fenugreek Seeds - 1/4 tsp
Black Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp

Ginger - 1 inch piece
Vinegar - 1 tbspn
Sugar - 1 tsp
Oil - 1/4 cup

Salt - as per taste
Coriander Leaves - 1 tbspn, finely chopped

Method:

Mix the turmeric powder and 1/2 tsp of salt in a small bowl. 

Mix the cubed capsicums in the salt+turmeric mix and set aside.

Heat the oil and add the capsicums. Shallow roast them until they slightly brown and still retain its crunchiness. Drain and set aside on paper towels so that the extra oil is absorbed. In the same oil, add the sliced onions and fry until golden brown. 

Drain and set aside.

Powder cumin, fenugreek seeds and mustard seeds.
Grind the garlic and ginger together into a coarse paste. Add a tsp of oil in a pan and saute on low flame until browned and fragrant. Take care not to burn it. Add the powdered spices, chili powder and saute until fragrant. Then add the pureed tomato and saute until mushy and the oil separates from the masala. Add 2 cups of water to this and the sauteed capsicums and the fried onions. Bring it to a boil and add the vinegar and sugar. Let it simmer for about 3-4 mins or until the gravy reaches the consistency you desire. Add the required salt and garnish with coriander leaves.

Serve hot with steamed rice!
