I did not know a curry can be prepared from capsicum until my friend Bhavya got it for the lunch box. It tasted so good with chapathis. I asked her the recipe and prepared it on the next day. My husband doesn't like capsicum in any form. So I was worried whether he will taste it or not. To my surprise he tasted it and liked it too.. The capsicum or bell pepper get cooked in no time. That is what I like about these capsicums. Their shape is so funny and yet they look cute :). I always admire their beauty when I see them lying in the basket. I feel they are waiting to be cuddled. :). Oh no... Don't blush dear capsicum. I will stop praising you. All right today's recipe is capsicum masala and this is a perfect side dish for the chapathis. Very easy to make and tasty. Do try and let me know.
