    In large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add onions and tomatoes; cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and start turning golden brown. Stir in garlic, gingerroot, salt, curry powder, paprika, garam masala and bay leaf. Cook about 5 minutes or until very fragrant and spices are beginning to brown.

Return skillet to heat; cook green bell peppers in skillet until brown. Add to curry base. Serve immediately.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Garam masala is a traditional spice blend very common in Indian cooking. Make your own for this dish by combining 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper, 4 green cardamom pods, 1/4 teaspoon coriander seed and 1 whole clove. Add with other spices and blend well. Delicious!
