DISH NAME : SIMLA MIRCH PYAAZ SABJI ( CAPSICUM ONION GRAVY)

Preparation Time : 15 minutes

Cooking Time : 25 minutes

Description

Simla mirch is capsicum. This is a simple gravied curry for chapathy. In most of the capsicum curries, potato is also added, but this one is even without potato. Hence cooking takes hardly any time.

Note

1) I have used green capsicum, you can use any colored capsicum. Red ones will taste the best.
2) You can replace cream with curd. In that case add curd (after whipping well) after adding tomatoes.
3) If curd is not properly whipped, it will curdle.
4) If curd is too sour, add a pinch of suga to the gravy.

Method

1) Cut onion into cubes and seperate petals.
2) Cut capsicum into cubes.
3) Heat oil, add onion & capsicum & saute lightly till transparent. The vegetables should have a nice cruncy bite to it. So don't over cook. Keep aside.
For gravy.
1) In the same pan ,heat oil.Splutter cumin.
2) Add onion, garlic and ginger. Fry till onion is golden brown.
3) Add turmeric, corriander and chilli powders. when it is done, add tomato and saute till tomato is cooked and pulpy.
