Capsicum
Masala or Shimla Mirch ki Sabzi
Capsicum is such a versatile
vegetable and one of the healthiest vegetable in the world. It goes with
everything from continental to Indian desi recipes. I love capsicum weather it
is crunchy or soggy. Sometimes we have abundant of capsicum at home. But we do
not want to cook fancy recipes. This is the quick easy 15 minutes recipe for
you foodies. Here less spices is used. I
have made it with some aloo/ potato. This capsicum masala is sweet and sour in
taste due to use of chaat masala powder here.
Ingredients
600 grams of Capsicum/Shimla
Mirch
3 boiled potatoes (80% cooked)
1 medium size onion (finely sliced)
3-4 green chilies (chopped)
1 large tomato
1 tbsp. ginger garlic paste
1 tbsp. Kashmiri red chili powder
1 tbsp. jeera/cumin powder
½ tsp. turmeric powder
1 tbsp. chaat masala
½ tsp. whole cumin seed
Salt sugar to taste

oil. Temper with cumin seeds.
2. Add onion
and green chili pieces. Fry those until raw smell goes off.
3. Add turmeric
powder. Give a quick stir. Add kasmiri red chili powder and salt. Saute those

4. Add

becomes dry then sprinkle some water.
5. Add
boiled potatoes and capsicum pieces and mix it with the masala. Add cumin powder
and sugar.
6. Cover and
cook for 10-12 minutes. Timing depends on you if you want crunchy capsicum then
it will take only 6-8 minutes. But check in between otherwise it tends to stuck
in the bottom.
