Hi All....
Yesterday I made this recipe for lunch and it reminded me of my old days ......When I got married I didn't know anything to cook , before my marriage I bought few cooking books and brought them with me in my trousseau :-P LOL
After marriage, I made dal makhani, shahi paneer, palak paneer etc etc...to impress my hubby :-)
One day he came from office and asked me -"what have you cooked today for dinner?" I said - "chicken."
He said - "enough of all these dishes ...make something simple and easy to digest."
Now me in trouble :-( didn't learn anything before marriage. Mummy kept on saying learn cooking, learn cooking but I just ignored it.
I called her and asked few simple and easy recipes ....that time she blasted on me :-( but its OK.
This was the first simple and easy recipe which I made after my marriage.....So I wanted to share this with all the newly married and unmarried gals, so that they will not get scoldings from their moms :-)
Ingredients:
2 green bell peppers (capsicum)
2 potatoes
1 big tomato (finely chopped)
1"ginger (grated)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/4 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp red chilly powder
Salt acc.to taste
1/4 tsp amchoor powder
A pinch of hing
2 tbsp oil
Method:
