Aloo simla mirch

(Savory potatoes and bell peppers, आलू शिमला मिर्च)

Aloo simla mirch is a traditional vegetable dish originating from Delhi. The dish is usually made with a combination of potatoes, bell peppers, salt, and ghee or a mixture of oil and butter. The potatoes are cut into quarters and cooked in ghee or butter and oil over low heat until tender.


They're often sprinkled with water if they start to brown too much. The bell peppers are cut into quarters as well, and then added to the pot with the potatoes. The mixture is simmered for a few minutes, and it's then gently mixed before serving. It's recommended to serve this simple dish with phulkas, dal, or steamed rice on the side.
