Corn Capsicum subzi, a simple and easy to make side-dish to pair with roti and rice. A vegan and gluten-free side-dish.
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.
The original recipe is from Tarla Dalal’s Subzi’s. I have modified it a bit to suit our taste. This makes a great accompaniment to roti’s and also to rice. Since the curry is a bit Saucy and creamy, this makes a great curry to pack for lunch too. To make it more rich, add a cup of cubed paneer towards the end.
The Ingredietns
- Corn kernels, i have used frozen corn kernels.
- Capsicums also called as bellpeppers, i have used green capsicums, you can also use colorful capsicums and make the curry bright.
- Onion and tomatoes along with garlic gives volume to the curry and also makes it saucy and flavorful. If you want to make it sathvik, omit the onion and garlic in the recipe.
- Spices, the usual spices like red chili, coriander powder, garam masala and turmeric powder is used in the curry.
- Garnishes, fresh coriander leaves and fresh ginger.

I really wish my girls would eat capsicum, I would have made this dish. Love the crunchiness of the corn, moreover really simple to make as well… Apt with some chapathis…
I’ve never tried this combo in sabzi, we used to add these combo usually in Italian dishes. They both looks together so good and very inviting. Love to eat with hot phulkas. Will try it sometime.
