Capsicum masala curry recipe
Ingredients
- Capsicum/Green Bell Pepper – 1 cup (diced)
- Tomato – 1 large sized (pureed)
- Onion – 2 medium sized (1 diced and 1 chopped finely)
- Ginger garlic paste – 1 tbsp
- Corriander powder – 1 tsp
- Turmeric powder – 1 tsp
- Red chilli powder – 1 tsp
- Garam masala – 1 tsp
- Groundnuts – 3 tbsp
- Oil – 2 tbsp
- Corriander leaves – 1/4 cup(chopped)
- Sesame seeds (nuvvulu/ellu) – 2 tbsp (optional)
Method
- Dry roast the groundnuts(peanuts) and sesame seeds if you are using them. I use these organic groundnuts
.
- Grind the roasted nuts into a fine powder and set it aside.
- In a tawa/thick bottomed pan, add 2 tbsp oil and saute the diced onion and capsicum. Once they are roasted, set them aside.
- Use the same pan to saute finely chopped onion till it turns crispy.
- Now add ginger garlic paste, tomato puree (just put the tomato in a blender for 2 minutes to get pureed tomato) and saute for a few minutes.
- Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, salt to the pan.
- Let the mixture fry for a few minutes.
- Then add the groundnut(and sesame) powder along with some water to make it semi-liquid gravy.
- On a medium to low flame let it boil for about 5 minutes.
- Add the sauteed capsicum and onion to the gravy and let it boil till the capsicum is cooked.
- Switch off the stove and garnish the curry with corriander leaves before serving.
So, the yummy gravy is calling!

This seems really tasty! I’m always looking for something to cook that is easy, affordable, and not too harsh on my figure. Plus I LOVE a good curry so I’m going to have to try this out. One of my favorite go to meals is black bean soup..so cheap but filling and you can dress it up or down!
Awesome..you would really love this!
