A savory and comforting gravy featuring the dynamic duo of capsicum and potato.
Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 medium-sized capsicums (bell peppers), diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- Heat the cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they release their aroma.
- Add the diced potatoes and capsicums to the pan. Stir well to coat them with the onion mixture.
- Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and capsicums start to soften.
- Sprinkle the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt over the vegetables. Mix everything together until the spices are evenly distributed.
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and stir to combine. Cook for another 5-6 minutes until the tomatoes break down and form a thick gravy.
- If the mixture becomes too dry, you can add a splash of water to adjust the consistency of the gravy.
- Once the potatoes are cooked through and the capsicums are tender, taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
- Serve the delicious capsicum potato gravy hot with rice or chapati for a satisfying meal!
