Be it our grocery items or left-over food, we have tried not to waste even a morsel of it.

Half cup chopped onion

Half cup chopped bell pepper (of any colour)

Step 2. In the same pan and oil, add onion, bell pepper, tomato and green chilli to it; stir fry the vegetables. Make sure it doesn't lose the crunch.
