This sabji I cooked for today's dinner, packed with multiple vegetables that are naturally sweet in taste. I added half a cup of corn just for color contrast , that added even more sweetness. No masala is used, it is stir fried with sauteed onions and green chilies. Final garnish is done with fresh grated coconut and chopped cilantro. This is easy and flavorful Bhaji recipe for every day Indian meals.
Ingredients :
- 1 Capsicum - medium size cut into 1 inch pieces. (1.5 cup yield)
