Aloo Shimla mirch sabzi is a simple Shimla mirch recipe. Aloo Shimla mirch sabji recipe is Punjabi style recipe in which capsicum is cooked with onion and tomato masala. This one is just perfect for the days when you are looking to cook a comfort meal in a hurry.

Some dishes are super simple but still taste absolutely fantastic. Aloo Shimla mirch Sabzi is among one of these. This capsicum recipe is super quick and comes together in almost 20 Minutes. That is why I am categorising it under curry in a hurry series.

There are few variations of this spicy dry curry of Aloo Shimla mirch. Some people cook aloo Shimla mirch without Onion and garlic with just a few spices, which are dry Aloo Shimla mirch. But in this recipe, I cooked potato and capsicum with sliced onion and tomato masala.

The order of adding tomato onion masala is slightly changed that is a complete game changer for the recipe.  This gives it a delicious taste, makes it moist and keeps the flavour and texture of the curry interesting.

This is super easy to cook and hardly takes more than 20 minutes to cook. I cook it quite frequently at home. So when I decided to do this short series of quick cooking Indian curry recipes in under 20 minutes recipe section this was sure going to be a part of it 🙂

Aloo Shimla Mirch - Recipe Notes

For making Aloo Shimla mirch curry, you can use green, red or yellow capsicum as per your choice. The taste of yellow and red capsicum is little less peppery than the green bell pepper. But the sabji tastes good nevertheless because of a lot of smokiness from dried red chilli and heat from green chilli which I used in tadka.
