I love such dry stir frys! They are SO flavorful, especially with the addition of some Aamchur Powder ( Dried Mango Powder) and with a 'tadka' of Jeera Seeds.....wow.
The taste is amazing. This is so very simple.....make it when you're in a hurry and you'll be eating in no time.
Here's what you need:
2 large potatoes - I used Yukon Gold- Partially cooked, peeled and chopped
2 large Bell Peppers, chopped
1 tbsp- Olive Oil
1 tsp- Cumin Seeds
A pinch of asafoetida
1 tsp- turmeric
1 tsp or more aamchur ( dried mango powder)
1 tsp- Chili powder
1 tsp or more- dhania-jeera powder ( cumin-corainder)
1 tsp- your fav. Garam masala
Salt,Sugar - to taste
Cook the potatoes partially, either by boiling them or in the microwave for around 6-8 minutes. Cool and chop them along with the bell peppers.
In a wide pan, heat the Oil. Add the cumin seeds and the asafoetida. Add the potatoes, and stirfry for around 3-4 minutes. Let the potatoes get coated evenly. Now add the bell peppers and stir. Add the masalas and the salt/sugar. Lower the heat, stir once again and cover. Let it cook on low heat until the potatoes and the peppers get a nice crust. Serve hot!
Serving Suggestion: Chapatis, Fresh Yogurt and Pickles.
What a simple and easy curry. A unique combination as well.

Its been a long time since I had this combination - when I came to Delhi I was so overwhelmed with all the potato being eaten all the time that I banned potato for a while from the kitchen - need to do some more things - this recipe is one of my favourites and your version looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have become really fond of these stir fry's also, and this one really looks inviting!

ReplyDeleteIf available, chile poblano gives a flavour much closer to Shimla mirch than ordinary bell peppers. Chile poblano can be got in any store that specializes in Mexican food.
