Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil; 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds; 1 sprig Curry Leaves; 1/2 cups Chopped Red Onion; 1/2 teaspoons Finely Chopped Ginger; 2 whole Serranos, Cut Into Small Rounds; 1/2 cups Chopped Red Bell Pepper; 2 cups Water; 1/2 teaspoons Salt; 1 cup Cornmeal; 1 teaspoon Ghee Or Butter; 1/2 cups Chopped Almonds (optional)

Servings: persons

1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
1 sprig Curry Leaves
1/2 cups Chopped Red Onion
1/2 teaspoons Finely Chopped Ginger
2 whole Serranos, Cut Into Small Rounds
1/2 cups Chopped Red Bell Pepper
2 cups Water
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 cup Cornmeal
1 teaspoon Ghee Or Butter
1/2 cups Chopped Almonds (optional)

1
On medium flame, in a deep saute pan or Dutch oven, heat the oil. Add the mustard seeds. Once mustard seeds temper and pop, add curry leaves, onion, ginger and serranos. Saute for 3 minutes or until ingredients are wilted and onions translucent.
2
Add in red pepper and saute for 1 additional minute; don't allow pepper to wilt and brown.
3
In a measuring cup, measure in water, add salt and mix well. Pour into the cooked ingredients.
4
With heat on medium-high, allow water to boil (use lid to cover).
5
Lowering to medium heat, swiftly stir in the cornmeal to the water. Stir just until the cornmeal is mixed through. By now it would have absorbed much of the liquid.
6
With one final stir, take off heat, spoon butter on top and sprinkle with almonds. Cover and allow cornmeal to cook and soften in the steam.
