7. Stuff the capsicums one by one with the masala and close the lids.
8. Prepare seasoning in frying pan with mustard and curry leaves in oil.
9. Drop the stuffed capsicums gently in it.
10. Spread the excess masala, if any, all over.
11. Cook on a low flame under cover.
    Open 2-3 times, at intervals, and turn over slightly.
    After sufficient cooking, remove from flame.
