📌 Capsicum and Onion Curry in a Yogurt-based Gravy — a very delicious, creamy, and quick-to-prepare recipe. It serves as an excellent option when there are no fresh green vegetables at home, or when you simply crave something different.
📌 This dish turns out incredibly flavorful when prepared using tomato puree, a blend of spices mixed into yogurt, and a paste of ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Adding crushed roasted peanuts gives the gravy a lovely thickness.
📌 This curry tastes absolutely delicious when served with *roti* (Indian flatbread) and steamed rice.

#Manisha_PureVeg_Treasure #LoveToCook_ServeWithLoveis my introduction as a home chef.At the age of 10, I started my cooking journey with my mother's guidance. My cooking guru is my Maa - Mrs. Madhuri Dhanraj Bhatia. She was a master home chef, running a small business of food items like daily meal tiffin, traveling food packs, seasonal pickles, papad, chips, fryums, etc. So I learned a lot from her. At the age of 18, I got married to a huge joint family and started my new journey. My family loves my dishes and appreciates me. Especially my husband and my son. So, day by day, I improved myself, and today, cooking is my hobby, my passion. My husband, Mr. Kamal Sampat always supports and motivates me. All credits goes to my mother and my husband.I joined Cookpad in September 2018.Till today sharing my recipes. I am happy to join Cookpad, to learn and share more and many more. ❤️👍👌💐
