Potato Capsicum Masala (Aloo Shimla Mirch Ki Sabzi)

Potato capsicum masala is a very simple recipe and quite easy to make. I love using this combo in my menu, especially this instant sabzi. I learnt this from my Mom long back when I was novice to the basics of cooking.

Ingredients:-
  • 2 capsicum (deseeeded & finely chopped)
  • 3 potatoes (peeled & finely chopped)
  • 1 onion (ground)
  • 2 tomatoes (ground)
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • ½ tsp ginger- garlic paste
  • ¼ tsp turmeric pdr
  • ¼ tsp all spice pdr
  • ½ tsp red chilli pdr
  • 1 tsp coriander pdr
  • salt to taste
  • few coriander leaves for garnishing (chopped)
Method:-  
  • Heat oil in a pressure cooker.
  • Add onions, tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric pdr, red chillie pdr, coriander pdr, all spice pdr and salt.
  • Saute for a minute stirring continuously.
  • Add potatoes and capsicum. Mix well.
  • Pressure cook without water for 2 - 3 whistles.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves.
  • Serve hot with roti or paratha. 
Notes:-
  • You may use yellow or red capsicum too instead of the green .
  • You may use french beans instead of capsicum.
  • You may grind 1 - 2 green chillies along with onions if you want it to be a little spicy.
Happy Cooking!!
