If you haven’t been using much of shimla mirch in your diet i highly recommend these yummy capsicum recipes. Capsicum is easily digestible and can also be included in a baby’s diet after 10 months. I would often add them in my babies khichdi. There are so many ways capsicum can be used in Indian food. You can include them in pulao, biryani, salads, stir fry, fried rice varieties, curries, chutney, dip or just stuff them with your favorite ingredients and pan roast or grill them. They can be used in most curries since they lend a unique flavor to the dish. I also add them to my dal or biryani salan recipes. They taste great when cooked with eggs, prawns or chicken as well. I have shared a lot of capsicum recipes on the blog, complied them all here for easy access. There are also few recipes which are loved at home but haven’t shared it here due to time constraints. I am sharing two of them here at the end of this post. More collection recipes,Paneer RecipesSpinach RecipesCabbage Recipes
