This simple yet flavorful & delicious aloo capsicum is a life saver for me most times in dealing with my fussy kids. I always wonder how often I make this for their school box or some times even for their breakfast to eat with their paratha or dosa.
It is very simple to make and one can easily plus or minus the ingredients i have mentioned below. It is a dry curry or sabzi, if you like to have a moist curry just pour very little water to cook.
I also make this aloo capsicum differently each time by adding a variety of veggies. Cauliflower, peas, broccoli or even beans go very well in this. Even a few chunks of paneer, firm tofu too go well. Get creative and just throw in what ever you like.
If you have fussy kids, just skip the onions. I have not used tomatoes in the recipe as they hinder the potatoes from getting cooked quickly.
