This one is definitely one of my most favourite subji ie aloo shimla mirch, which is a very easy and simple vegetable dish to make with very few stuffs easily available at home
Potatoes are extremely popular in Northern India and have multipurpose usage. Actually Potato is also a source of Vitamin C and provides useful amount of starch, niacin and thiamine.
As usual everyone does it in many ways, but I make it very simply by adding only turmeric powder and red chilli powder for spice and cumin powder as herb.
Usually in this subji potatoes are used in more quantity than capsicum, but I use equal quantity of both the vegetables. Now let me start with the recipe.
Today I paired this Potato capsicum fry/sabji along with coriander paratha/chapati & Mango seekarane/aam ras
Ingredients :
- Potatoes – 2 big
- Capsicum – 2 big
- Cumin seeds powder – 1/2 tsp
- Red chilli powder – 3/4 tsp (non spicy, which also gives color) (adjust)
- Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
- Oil – 1&1/2 tbsp
- Mustard seeds – 1/4 tsp
- Salt to taste
- Water – 2 tbsp
