Green bell pepper sautéed in onion tomato gravy. The recipe goes well with rotis or parathas. This is very easy and healthy recipe to make on a weekday meal. This is one of my hubby’s favorite dish. I have not cooked capsicum a lot because I like its crunchiness. The soft potato and crunchy capsicum gives the dish a great flavour. To make the dish look colorful, you can add red and yellow bell pepper as well.
