Capsicum/bell peppers has a unique taste and flavor of its
own. It doesn’t need much time to cook. You can just sauté and add to ur salads
and it tastes yummy. It can also be eaten raw. In this recipe I just roasted
the capsicum and added it to onion-tomato gravy. This can be served with
chapathi and roti and also be taken with jeera rice topped with some onions. I tried
it with the green bell peppers. You can even try this with red or yellow bell
peppers.
