Capsicum Tomato curry

As others, we are also new lovers of bell pepper family(Capsicum). I feel, Capsicum tastes delicious when its half cooked. So I was skeptical on making this recipe as this is basically a curry style and it makes capsicum fully cooked. To my surprise, its not a "Oh, not again" kind and its worth a try

Cauliflower Potato and Peas Curry

I was looking to try something different (than my regular recipe) with potato and cauliflower and yet a simple one. And Voila !!!..I got this recipe on the first search and it absolutely tasted good. The masala ingredients give you a spicy flavor and in Tamil, we call this kind of flavor as "Varuval". It goes well with any mild flavor dishes like "More kuzhambu"  or even roti/paratas. With no more dragging...lets dive into recipe
