This simple capsicum masala gravy goes very well with chapatti, boiled rice and even with pulao. Capsicum is one of the healthiest veggies out there that, not only is low in calories, yet provides lot of health benefits.

If you have been following me for a while now you would know that I love using bell peppers in pretty much everything. There is just something about this vegetable that I absolutely love. I use capsicum in everything from my chicken pasta to my chicken quesadillas.

So, I thought what better curry recipe to create than this capsicum curry recipe.

It’s not too much of a popular curry and not many people would have heard of it. That’s not to say that this curry is not delicious, because it most definitely is. I’m not just saying that because I love bell peppers, but because I know anyone who tries this recipe will love it.

It is important to note that the cooking times will differ depending on how big you cut the bell peppers. You also may need to adjust the quantity of water depending on how tender and soft you want the bell peppers.

Bell peppers do release a lot of water, so this is what helps to cook them and soften them both.

This is a simple curry that is perfect for beginners. This is quite a spicy curry so if you’re not a fan of spices you can easily reduce the amount of spice added. This capsicum curry is one of the best vegetarian curries to be served along with some homemade chapattis!
