Brocolli bell pepper jhunka

Jhunka is a traditional Maharashtrian dish, where vegetables are sauteed and then sprinkled with a spicy chickpea mixture, such that the chickpea mixture forms a crust around the veggies, adding flavor and texture to the veggies. 

Today I made jhunka adding brocolli and bell pepers which makes this jhunka supper healthy
