Capsicum Curry
Capsicum Curry is a spiced vegetable dish featuring bell peppers cooked with onions, tomatoes, and a blend of Indian spices including cumin, chili, turmeric, and garam masala. The slow sautéing of spices with aromatics infuses the curry with warm, bold flavors while bell peppers add a fresh, slightly sweet bite to the savory sauce. Its hearty texture and layered spices make it a flavorful accompaniment to chapatti or rice.

Notes
- The spices should be sautéed until fragrant to fully develop flavor but care should be taken to avoid burning.
- Simmer the curry until the bell peppers are tender but still hold their shape for the best texture.
- Serve hot with chapatti or similar flatbreads for a traditional accompaniment.
