Lakshmi(Are you the one I know, a P?), thanks. Occasionally I do that too, but without the onions. Small, fresh ones are the best to cook like that but rarely I find them here.

Shammi, I agree with Barbara, red and yellow ones in addition to looking pretty, taste great and sweet too on their own, unlike the green ones.
Barbara - I am too not a big fan of green peppers, but cooked in this way, they taste really great. Red and yellow are sweet on their own, I like them just as they are, lightly suateed with no extra ons. I don’t think this curry taste the same way when made with red or yellow ones.

Shammi–I don’t think there is much difference in taste between red, orange or yellow bell peppers. They are all just ripe and sweeter than green ones to me. (I like using all the different colors together, too! They look really pretty.)

Indira–I wondered if the recipe would suffer from the sweetness of the ripe peppers. I will have to make a small batch of it for myself, then, though–I cannot convince my husband or daughter to like green peppers no matter what I do.

I love this curry Indira. There is also a slightly different version I make, where in I use a little onions and green chillies and the powder. I stuff the capsicum with the mixture and put them in to the oven. They also come out really well.

Love your pictures. They speak what your trying to convey. Very Explicit

Is there quite that much taste difference in different coloured bell peppers? I love the orange, yellow and red ones especially - they’re so beautifully colourful! I use the green ones just to temper the brightness

Barbara, I tried this recipe with red bell peppers, it was ok, not as good as with green bell peppers. I just do plain saute with them.

Do you ever make this with ripe (red or yellow) bell peppers, Indira? Or does it change the flavor of the dish too much?

I will have to try it sometime.

Mika, the powder is almost like roasted besan with some other extra ons like dry coconut, cumin etc.,I know you will like this version, please try and let me know, thanks.

Nice looking meal. I also make this capsicum curry but your recipe uses the dal powder which is an interesting change. I just roast some besan and use it. Next time, I will try this method.
