Grilled capsicum recipe | Capsicum salad Indian recipe | grilled bell pepper recipe with detailed step by step photos. I made this salad for my lunch. Usually, I prepare this salad whenever I have all the three color bell peppers in stock.

Here, I have used a non-stick pan to grill peppers and red onion. You can use an iron skillet too. Additionally, I have mentioned coconut oil, cumin seeds, and red chili powder to give the salad an Indian desi twist which is completely optional. Chili powder can be replaced with black pepper and other spices as well. 

This salad should be crunchy and not overcooked, so keep the flame high while cooking and make sure it doesn't burn, the total cooking time should be around 4 to 5 mins. So let's get started! (Bell pepper is also known as capsicum).
