NOTES
* I have used one red and green bell pepper.You can omit the onion too,but I love the flavor so added.
* Sesame seeds powder is added for more flavor but I had only seeds and so added that.
* I served it by filling in chapathis with cooked black beans and guacamole(sorry couldn't click pics then as I was busy preparing).Tastes delicious.
