Methi Capsicum Masala

This recipe does not call for the use of methi leaves. But since they are in season now & I had some fresh leaves on hand , I was tempted to add them into this masala. Otherwise this masala is similar to the one used in brinjal gravies. Stuffing this masala into whole small capsicum is also a good idea.
