capsicum peanut curry

I love experimenting different varieties of gravy every time I try to do some innovation and luckily they turn out yummier than previously made so today am sharing one such recipe. Capsicum is a delicious veggie which I love to include in any vegetable gravy  and also rice. I normally make capsicum sabzi to go with phulkas and my H love it, But this time I tried out  adding peanuts and they turned out more yummier and the gravy was very flavorful !!. This curry is prepared in karnataka and northern Maharashtra a lot and will sure give a a new taste . This curry is Simpler to capsicum Kairas which is an Konkani dish but there is a ground masala added to that and they are dry compared to this . I have tried them as a gravy.

Capsicum peanut masala gravy is an perfect gravy to go with Indian breads and a perfect dinner or lunch idea. capsicum and peanut merry so well and they leave out an fantastic flavor. My H love this gravy and gave me lots of compliments. You can make your own variations to this gravy by adding sesame seeds  , potato to the gravy too . Over to the recipe..
