Capsicum curry - shimla mirch ki subji.

Capsicum carry lots of vitamins .We must include this veggie in our food selection .I am a big fan of this green veggie but earlier not able to make curry of it ,was only using it with fried rice , noodles .When my sister made aloo capsicum masala i was not even eager to taste it as i never thought capsicum veggie will taste this much fantastic when we make curry of it.But when my sister insisted to give it a try and after tasting became a huge fan of capsicum curry and capsicum masala.I prepared spicy capsicum fry , capsicum fry and shared it in the same blog but the dish I am sharing today is extra ordinary .The gravy goes very well with different types of Indian rice and Indian breads like naan , roti .
