Shimla Mirch Aloo Ki Sabji

Shimla mirch aloo ki sabji is very simple, healthy and dry sabji. In this recipe potatoes and capsicum are sauted together with basic spices. It can be served with naan or rotis. I have used green capsicum but you can use all colors of capsicum to make this colorful and healthy.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium potatoes (peeled and cubed)
• 2 Shimla Mirch (green capsicums chopped)
• 1 tomato (finely chopped)
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds (Jeera)
• A pinch of asafetida (heeng)
• 1/2 tsp red chili powder
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp dried mango powder
• 1/4 tsp garam masala
• 1 tsp coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp Mustard oil
• Salt as per taste

Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a kadhai or pan. Add cumin and heeng. Let them crackle.
2. Add turmeric powder, potatoes and salt.
3. Mix well, cover and cook potatoes on low flame till half cooked.
4. Then add capsicum and tomato pieces. Cover them and cook on low heat for 2 minutes or till vegetables get cooked completely.
5. Now add coriander powder, chilli powder, amchoor powder and garam masala.
6. Stir well for a few minutes on High till spices blend properly with vegetables.
7. Garnish with coriander leaves and enjoy with Dal and rice or roti.

 Tips:

You can add dry fenugreek leaves (Kasuri Methi).

Potatoes take a longer time to cook as compared to capsicums, so we cook the potatoes half otherwise the peppers will get too mushy.
