    Capsicum Masala

    July 18, 2019 By Anlet Prince 1 Comment

    Capsicum Masala is a tasty and easy side dish to be served with rotis and chapattis. I have used Red, Yellow and Green Capsicums in this recipe in the idea of making it more interesting. It can also be had with idli and dosa. It also serves as a good side dish with pulaos too. Checkout other vegetarian side dish for rotis available in this space.
