HOW TO MAKE CAPSICUM CURRY?

CAPSICUM MASALA CURRY- A COLORFUL BELL PEPPER GRAVY WITH A SESAME SEED PEANUT GRAVY BASE.

capsicum masala curry

Capsicum masala curry is a marriage of a basic tomato onion based gravy and salan. Now, when i thought about posting mirchi ka salaan on the blog, i decided against it because, well, i m not a fan. Yes. I hate salaan or salan. But this capsicum masala is mid way and floats my boat.

I m usually wary of ordering curries in restaurants. I m of the opinion that they just serve the same onion tomato gravy with different names and vegetables. So, i m always experimenting new ways of making curries for the family.

This nutty gravy base has peanuts, coconut and sesame and is also wholesome in terms of nutrients.

I have used all three colors of capsicums for this recipe to make it more colorful. But you can always choose to add any one. Also, i had roasted peanuts on hand and hence skipped the steps. Please roast your peanuts and add them to the gravy.
