A simple stress-free meal for a busy, tiring day
Hey everyone,
Today, let’s see how we can make a very easy dish that can be prepared in no time. You only need some boiled potatoes and fresh capiscums. Moreover, this is a very healthy dish that has vitamin A, B6, E, and C and is rich in folates.
We need some very basic Indian spices and a wide nonstick frying pan, which is the important part in preparing this dish. Potatoes being boiled will develop a crisp coating on top, and capsicums will develop a crunchy texture if sautéed in a wide pan. A narrow pot or kadhai can make this dish go mushy. Else you won’t find the dish that I have explained over here… hahaha…!
COOKING PROCEDURE
In a wide pan, heat oil and add jeera. No need to add mustard; it will give you a slight smokey flavour to this dish, which we don’t want. Add curry leaves and fresh ginger garlic green chili paste. Cut the boiled potato and capsicum into medium cube sizes. Add finely chopped onion, followed by the capsicum. Let the capsicum cook on a medium-high flame till it develops a white-like coating on its surface. Time to put in the potatoes and give a good toss.
Season with the spices like turmeric powder, red chilli powder (optional), kashmiri chilli powder, coriander powder, and jeera powder. also a bit of garam masala. sprinkle some crushed roasted peanut , this ignites the whole dish. Now is the time to add some tomato with its skin removed. Adding it that way helps it maintain the moisture throughout. Add tomatoes towards the end of the dish and not immediately after you put in onions. Sprinkle salt as per your taste. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.
This dish goes well with phulka roti. Phulka roti is an Indian tortilla made freshly with wheat dough. It is tossed in an open flame or sometimes on a tawa without adding any oil to it.
