Shimla mirch aloo ki sabji -Tangy delicious Potato and capsicum stir fry

Shimla mirch aloo ki sabzi is a very simple and easy recipe to make.It is a dry stir fry made with basic Indian spices and capsicum and potatoes. It is a very good tiffin recipes to pack in lunch boxes.

I have used green bell peppers to make this capsicum potato curry but you can use any color of bell pepper or use the all three of the colored peppers ,which will make the stir fry more colorful and appealing to eyes.

I have used boiled potatoes to make this shimla mirch aloo ki sabzi  as it will get cooked quicker by using boiled potatoes but if you don’t have boiled potatoes then just add the peeled and cubed potatoes in the tempering,cover and cook till done and then add the remaining ingredients.

Adding crushed peanut is my own twist to the simple regular aloo capsicum sabzi and every one at home now loved this curry with peanuts only. If you are allergic to peanuts or don’t have peanuts in your pantry then just skip peanuts and follow the rest of the recipe ,it will turn awesome both ways !
