Potato Capsicum Spicy Dry Curry / Aloo Shimla Mirch Sabzi is one of my fav recipes of Potato, which in turn is one quick vegetable which comes to my mind, when I have to prepare a quick meal for my family. It takes less time and even gives more carbs when compared to other vegetables.

This is one such recipes I made with capsicum as a pair. Here, I did not fry the potatoes or capsicum but I just steamed them after doing the tempering with very little oil. 

This, Potato Capsicum Curry / Aloo Shimla Mirch sabzi is a Vegan, Glutenfree, Guiltfree, Carbs filled curry recipe. If you can reduce the spice, this can be served as a starter too.
