    Bell Peppers & Green Peas Curry

    My athamma (mother-in-law) use to make this curry a lot.  She use to cook bell peppers with some green peas and  tomatoes.   She used to add some madras curry powder to spicy it up.   She was a very good cook and used madras curry powder a lot in her cooking.  I too make this curry once in awhile but rarely use  curry powder, although I have a tin of it in my spice cabinet.  But today, I went ahead and added it to cook exactly as she used to, to replicate her recipe.  My curry wasn't as good as her's but was palatable.  Three years ago, exactly this day, she left us all for good.  Since I am in a blogging marathon and was going to post something today anyway, I thought I would make something she liked or  she use to cook very often.    Here I am with her recipe.
