  1. hi!
    Your Aaloo-shimla mirch recipe is almost similar to my version(I named it-aloo capsicum fry), except for dhania powder n green ginger garlic paste. Instead I add a pinch of garam masala. Rest is same.
    Good day!

  3. Hello daagh...
    Thanks for this nice recipe. Have never heard of or tried capsicum with potatoes - very unusual and interesting.
    Just wanted to ask that by 'whole dhaniya' do u mean corriander leaves or corriander seeds?
    And also in the photo of the spices, I can see haldi but there is no mention of it in the recipe. Is haldi used as well?
    Thanks a bunch
