Capsicum/bell pepper (Shimla Mirch) is a very popular vegetable and is extensively used in Italian, Mexican, Chinese, and American cuisine and easy to find. Try this easy capsicum recipe. Potato can be added as well. The cooking time for the potatoes are different than bell peppers. Therefore, the potatoes are cooked before bell peppers are added.

  1. is that same cornflour you use to thicken sauces? because yours looks little yellow compared with mine.
    just wondering if it's the same thing.
    thanks!

  2. in UK we call corn starch and cornflour the same thing.
    so i'm not sure which one you are using… i'm just confused why yours looks yellow.

    thanks.

  3. ahh ok in health shop they told me "corn flour" is same as "maize meal / maize flour".
    but in UK it's confusing because we call cornstarch "cornflour" as well…!!

  4. your recipes are lovely. and you seem to be such a nice person. friendly suggestion: put jaggery. don't put white sugar. it's very bad for you. you can also use turbinado sugar. white sugar does a lot of harm to you and your family.

  5. Hello Bhavna, This dish lacks technical skills as adding gramflour/cornflour etc unecessary thickens the final vegetable texture without adding much flavour to it.
    I believe that particular ingredient can be skipped for better texture and enhanced taste.

  6. @nee158306 Actually adding of besan flour is important for this since it binds the otherwise chunky veges together. It also adds taste and protein component. If you dont have besan then you can dry roast channa daal and urud daal and grind them to a coarse powder. Add this and it will bind it all together and also add a crispy taste plus dont forget all the proteins you will be adding !

  7. @nee158306 Besan/corn flour is standard addition to such vege stir frys. It helps to bind the chunky vege pieces together and also adds protein component. If you dont like or dont have besan then you can use channa daal urud daal powder (dry roast and coarse grind). This also gives a nice crispy taste. Healthy too!

  8. This looks soooo YUMMY!!! And you're so cute! 😀 Thank you for the recipe! I never knew you could make sabji with bell peppers only and I NEVER added besan to my sabji either, so I will definitely give it a try!

  9. We have extra bell pepper in our kitchen so this looks like a superb way to use them. The rest of your recipes are intriguing to us as well. 🙂 Keep cooking and feel free to check out our cooking vids and/or sub!

  10. your recipe seems good but sorry to say, sometimes it makes hard to understand your accent . . little original than fake American accent would be better to understand complete recipe

  11. nice recipe bhavna. But try to avoid cooking with extra virgin olive oil. it is only meant to be eaten uncooked or unheated. at high temperatures it becomes carcinogenic (cancer causing).
