Capsicum Kurma

I love trying different types of kormas. These gravies are so versatile, they pair beautifully with any indian breads. These bread just soaks up the gravy beautifully. I love making it with all sorts of vegetables. I wanted to try out a kurma only with capsicum, but what is dont like is the capsicum getting too cooked and just becoming soggy. So i sauted it separately so it retains it crunchyness.

Ingredients for Capsicum Kurma

Oil - 3 tbsp
Butter - 2 tbsp
Bell Pepper/Capsicum - 2 ( I used green and red)
Tomatoes - 2 large pureed
Cumin Seeds / Jeerakam - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 tbsp
Chilli powder - 2 tsp
Garam Masala powder - 1 tsp
Salt - to taste
Sugar - 1 tsp
Water as needed

For Grinding:

Peanuts - 3 tbsp
Ginger - 1 tbsp
Garlic - 6 cloves
Onion - 1 large chopped

Generally kormas need a thickening source, it can be either ground up coconut masala, or cashew masala or even poppy seed masala or even some coconut milk. This kurma getting its thickening from peanuts. It is a kind of different one, you will surely love it..So try it and let me know how it turns out for you.

How to Make Capsicum Kurma

Heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add in the chopped peppers and saute them for 2 to 3 mins. Now remove them to a bowl.
In the same kadai with the leftover oil, add in the peanuts and roast them for a couple of mins.
Add in ginger, garlic and onions. Saute them for 5 mins or so.
Allow this to cool a little. Now Remove the to a blender and puree them.
In the same kadai. Add 2 tbsp of oil. Add in the pureed onion mix and saute them well in the oil.
Add in chilli, coriander, turmeric, garam masala powders, salt and sugar. Saute them for a min.
Add in tomato puree and mix well. Cook for 5 mins or so till oil separates.
Pour in some water and bring it to boil.Cover and simmer for 10 mins or so.
Now add in the cooked capsicum and mix well. Simmer for a couple of min.
Add in butter, lemon juice, coriander leaves and switch off the flame.
Serve with chapati or naan.

Hi I tried ur recipe it was amazing. Thanks a lot for this recipe. I have few suggestions. Plz edit the paragraph 3 to include what we have to grind. Also, in the description u did not mention when to add cumin seeds. I generally follow written instructions than images as the latter take more time to load. Thank you once again. Will try more of ur recipes 🙂

We generally love anything with capsicum or peanuts. This kurma has both our favourite ingredients. So, tried this for today's breakfast with Idiyappam. We just loved the way the dish has come out.
