This is a dry vegetarian dish. You can have it as a side dish or use it to stuff chapatis or sandwiches for your lunch boxes. Kids love this dish.
All you need to do is chop one onion, cube 2 potatoes, cube 2 tomatoes and 2 capsicums. As usual, heat oil and fry some Shahi jeera if you have for that royal taste, or you can use regular cumin seeds. Then fry the onion until it turns pink. Now add the potato cubes, cover & cook until they are almost done by stirring occasionally.
Then you add the regular ginger, garlic, green chilli, coriander powder, turmeric powder, chilli powder and mix well with the potatoes. Now add the tomato cubes, capsicum cubes, salt, mix, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Keep the capsicums crunchy.
Lastly add some roasted peanuts powder for the nutty flavour along with garam masala and coriander leaves.
How easy that can be? It tastes so good that I bet you will be wanting to eat it all the time.
