Capsicum and Potato Curry
Potatoes and green bell pepper curry is one of my fond memories of my Mom’s cooking when I was growing up in India. When Mom made this curry she always served it with her homemade chapatis and daal. Wholesome, delicious, and comforting – this is a feel good meal with goodness packed in every bite.
