Capsicum Masala or Shimla Mirch ki Sabzi
Capsicum is such a versatile vegetable and one of the healthiest vegetable in the world. It goes with everything from continental to Indian desi recipes. I love capsicum weather it is crunchy or soggy. Sometimes we have abundant of capsicum at home. But we do not want to cook fancy recipes. This is the quick easy 15 minutes recipe for you foodies.  Here less spices is used. I have made it with some aloo/ potato. This capsicum masala is sweet and sour in taste due to use of chaat masala powder here.


Ingredients
600 grams of Capsicum/Shimla Mirch
 3 boiled potatoes (80% cooked)
1 medium size onion (finely sliced)
3-4 green chilies (chopped)
1 large tomato
1 tbsp. ginger garlic paste
1 tbsp. Kashmiri red chili powder
1 tbsp. jeera/cumin powder
½ tsp. turmeric powder
  1 tbsp. chaat masala
½ tsp. whole cumin seed
Salt sugar to taste
Method
1.    Heat some oil. Temper with cumin seeds.
2.  Add onion and green chili pieces. Fry those until raw smell goes off.
3.  Add turmeric powder. Give a quick stir. Add kasmiri red chili powder and salt. Saute those for sometimes.
4.  Add ginger garlic paste and mix it. Cook it until raw smell goes off. If masala becomes dry then sprinkle some water.
5.  Add boiled potatoes and capsicum pieces and mix it with the masala. Add cumin powder and sugar.
6.  Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes. Timing depends on you if you want crunchy capsicum then it will take only 6-8 minutes. But check in between otherwise it tends to stuck in the bottom.
7.  When it is ready sprinkle chaat masala over it. Serve it immediately. Enjoy
