Capsicum Masala (Curry)

Capsicum Masala Curry Photography

Capsicum Masala/Curry recipe is a delicious curry of bell peppers in a gravy of peanuts and coconut powder. This Capsicum Masala curry is North Indian style dish, actually I would say Maharashtrian style curry with little Punjabi touchup, and this comes out totally divine.

I cooked this curry and everybody in my family liked this so much. Capsicum masala, a spicy recipe is so easy to prepare! Just add chopped capsicum with a range of Indian spices to prepare a lip smacking capsicum masala recipe.
