Aloo Capsicum Masala Curry, another simple and easy to make dry curry that is an awesome combo for Chapati and also for Rice. These Potato and capsicum are some veggies most of us surely have a stock in our refrigerator. Its pretty quick to make even for the beginners and for bachelors. Adding capsicum to any dishes enhances the flavor. I love adding capsicum to sambar. Also in Paneer dishes.
For roti's we always make some kind of dal or gravies like Paneer Butter Masala or Veg kurma. But most of us love simple plain dry curries like Aloo PattaGobi, Gobi Masala Curry, Aloo Jeera etc. Aloo Curry is always a favorite for most of us. But instead of plain aloo curry, we can increase the flavor by adding Capsicum (Green Bell Pepper) along with masala. This Aloo Capsicum Masala Curry is not only a best accompaniment for Roti but also best for any variety rice like Tomato bath, Vangi bath, any Pulav varieties like Green Peas, Brinji rice etc.
For any potluck or parties, this Aloo Capsicum Masala Curry is one of the unique recipe and surely we will get kudos from our guests. Try this simple and yummy Aloo capsicum Masala curry and share your comments!
