1 small cup of green pepper
1 tbsp of oil
1 tsp of lemon juice
scallions as garnish

Preparation:

1.Cut the vegetables in to small squares. Fry paratha on both sides till it turns golden brown.
2. Take a shallow pan, add oil. Add onion, green chillies, ginger. Saute for 2 minutes and add the red pepper and green pepper.
3. Saute for 5 minutes, add red chilli powder, garam masala and salt.
