Corn Capsicum Sabzi




Corn is one of our favourite. I try to make different types of dishes using them. This time, made a curry out of it and it was a great hit in my family. 

My daughter is crazy about corns and of course, she enjoyed this sabzi with roti. I was happy to see her finish off the rotis within no time... :) What more should a mother want, isn't it? 



I am a big fan of sanjeev kapoor's recipes...I try out many recipes from his website or books and always i am sure that it will come out great. This recipe is one among them. Try out and let me know how you liked it.

Ingredients

300 gms Corn Kernels (boiled)
2 Onion (medium, finely chopped)
2 Capsicum (medium, chopped)
2 Tomato (medium, pureed)
Salt to taste
1 tsp Red chilli powder
1 tsp Ginger garlic paste
1 tsp Cumin powder
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
1 tsp Garam masala powder
1 tbsp Coriander powder
1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
1/2 cup Mawa/Khoya (optional)
1/4 cup Fresh Cream (optional)
3 tbsp Oil
Coriander leaves (finely chopped) for garnish


Method
  • Heat oil in a non stick pan. Add cumin seeds and when they start to splutter, add onion.
  • Saute till onion turns translucent. Now add ginger garlic paste.
  • When the onion turns golden brown colour, add tomato puree. Mix well.
  • Now add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, coriander powder and cumin powder. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
  • Add capsicum and mix well. If you are adding mawa, add it now. 
  • Also add little water and let it simmer for about 2 - 3 minutes.
  • When the gravy starts to thicken add the corn. Cover and let it cook for 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Now add garam masala powder and fresh cream. Mix well.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves and serve it hot with roti or naan.

Note:
  1. I did not add mawa while preparing this dish. Still it tasted excellent.
  2. After boiling corn kernels, i crushed it a bit in a mixer and added it to the dish. If you like the corn kernels whole, you can add directly after boiling or just give a pulse in mixer and add to the dish.
  3. Adjust gravy by adding water.





* I usually take the quantity of the ingredients as per my taste. So you can always adjust the spices as per your taste*

  2. Love this dish. So colorful oozing with flavor. So true about adjusting flavors and spices to your liking, with me is it particularly relevant when it comes to garam masala.
