Quick & Easy Side Dish
Corn and capsicum curry, this delish and easy subzi is inspired from Tarla Dalal's Subzi's. I have modified it a bit to suit our taste.
Corn capsicum subzi is a saucy, semi-gravy side. It pairs well with flatbreads. Roti soaks the mildly spicy saucy side, making it a delicious meal.
If you are someone who enjoys rice and curry, look no further. This crunchy capsicum and sweet corn makes a beautiful side with fluffy cooked rice.
Let me Tempt you to Try this Easy Subzi
Capsicum corn subzi is a super quick and yummy Indian side dish that's perfect if you're vegan or gluten-free! It's got a gentle spice that goes with just about anything. This subzi is also great for lunchboxes, making lunchtime easy and tasty.
It's so simple to make. You can whip it up on busy weekdays for a healthy and satisfying meal. This can be done without spending hours in the kitchen. Because it's only mildly spiced, everyone will love it, making it a great family-friendly choice!
The curry is so versatile, you can add your choice of protein to it. I love to add some paneer or soy granules.

Quick and Easy Sides for Your Weekday Meals
Who doesn't love less time in the Kitchen. I prefer sumptuous meals but less time in the kitchen. With 3 calorie conscious men in the family, i have become super skilled in making easy and healthy meals.
Any given day you will find a hearty vegetable subzi in my kitchen. It might be something like this Assamese labra or Goan vegetable curry. Both my kids love dal, especially my elder teen. Saayi dal and green moong potato curry are his personal favorites.
My younger fella who hates peas masala love this smokey eggplant bharta. I m still understanding his likes and hates.
This delicious semi-gravy corn capsicum subzi, shared above pairs perfectly with soft roti's and rice. Imagine steaming hot rice, topped with saucy corn capsicum subzi, bliss.
If you love corn you should also check this creamy slow cooker creamed corn.
