    Potato Capsicum Curry

    Potato Capsicum Curry Recipe is a dry curry or subji that goes perfectly well as a side dish with both rice and flat breads like chapathis or phulkas.

    Both potato and capsicum happens to be one of my favorite combos among vegetables. I have used green bell peppers but feel free to add the colored ones to make it more eye catchy for the kids.

    As it is very easy and simple to make, I prepare this curry in bulk and during the busy mornings it makes life easier.

    Spicy curry with Potato and Bell Peppers

    I pack this for my kids by placing a big scoop of this subzi in the chapathis and rolling them.

    It gets easy to pack and makes a mess free lunch or snack for them at school.

    I have made this the North Indian way by adding some kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) which lends a wonderful flavor to the curry.

    If you do not have it just use coriander leaves.

    Aloo Capsicum Subzi/Sabzi

    Feel free to add other vegetables too like peas, beans and carrots. Just make sure you parboil them as well before adding it to the curry.

    Do check out other dry curry recipes like Baby Potato Sambal, Aloo Pepper Fry, Carrot Beans Poriyal, Kovakkai Curry and Potato Oil Roast that goes very well with both rice and rotis.

      Hi. Should we add water when we allow it to cook for 4 to 5 mins?

        Urad dal is a lentil used for seasoning. It is available in all Indian grocery shops. If you are not able to get hold of it, just skip the ingredient.
