Ingredients For Bell Pepper Curry No Onion No Garlic / Capsicum Masala Curry:
Bell Peppers: I like to use different colors of peppers along with green pepper for this recipe. But if you have only green pepper, you can use only green pepper. The cooking of bell pepper is very important for this recipe. I like to cook bell peppers until they are tender but still have a very little crunch. If you like to keep peppers very crunchy, cook it a little less.
Gravy: This is Hyderabadi style gravy, in which I have used peanuts and sesame seeds along with other whole spices. Nuts and Seeds gives a different but delicious flavor to the gravy. The gravy is nutty and the sweetness of bell peppers and softness of Paneer makes the whole dish pleasing.
Paneer: To add paneer is totally optional. I like to add because of my son. He loves paneer and adding to this curry means he would eat without any fuss.
Bell peppers are very nutritious with low calories. And this recipe has little amount of oil and there is no cream.

Made this today and my family loved it! Turned out restaurant style albeit the unnecessary fat content.
I must have tried about 15 recepies from your blog ( including salads, baking and entrees) and they all have been a huge success ( I have left a comment most of the times). I like your cooking style and the write up. Pls continue to add content to this blog (prefer to see more low carb/healthy recepies). Only pet peeve about this blog is that when I load a page for reading in a silent environment ( like with a child napping in the room), a video with music starts playing which can be annoying. Can you play the video in mute?

Hi Shruti, thank you so much for the feedback, kind words, and encouragement. I will definitely try to post more healthy recipes.🤗
Thanks for bringing the issue about video sound to my attention. I have muted it, so it should be fine now.
