Late summer brings with it a harvest of peppers in all shapes and sizes. Sweet peppers, spicy peppers, mild peppers, green, yellow, red, and orange peppers – you name it, it’s available at the farmer’s markets. All these peppers are the inspiration for this veggie stir fry.

Yin and yang type of flavor
When peppers are cooked they become sweet and caramelized and when they’re combined with potatoes and spices, this dish becomes a yin and yang type of sweet and spicy curry. Serve it with naan or chapati and a side of daal. Give it a try!

Kalpana, I forgot to write my name with the comment, Devi
Kalpana, I loved reading your ( Bell pepper& potato curry ) recipe. I make mine exactly the same way except I use more cauliflower, one or two red potatoes and green as well as colored peppers plus a big piece of ginger which gives out lot of flavor. Of course garnishing with cilantro for final touch.
You always come up with great recipes and always love reading your blog and following the the recipes I like. Thank you!
Thank you Devi. I like the idea of adding caulflower and ginger. I should add more ginger to my curries, I know they are so good for health and the flavor too. Thanks for your comment!
Love it! 💕
Thank you 😊
