Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Bell Pepper, Tomato, and Potato Curry.
Step 1
To start your flavorful journey, grab a skillet and warm up some vegetable oil over low heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is ready, toss in the black mustard seeds and listen for that delightful crackling sound, which should take about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Next, introduce minced garlic, chopped green chile pepper, fresh curry leaves, cumin seeds, and if you’re feeling adventurous, a pinch of asafoetida powder.
Step 4
Sauté this aromatic blend until the garlic turns golden and fills your kitchen with a mouthwatering fragrance, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes.

Now, it’s time to add the finely chopped tomatoes to the skillet.

Turn up the heat to medium and stir frequently, allowing the tomatoes to soften and meld with the spices for about 10 minutes.
Step 7
Once they’re looking good, mix in some water if you prefer a saucier dish, along with ground cumin, cayenne pepper, ground coriander, and ground turmeric.
Step 8
Give everything a good stir to ensure all those vibrant flavors come together beautifully.
Step 9
Next, add in the diced potato and chopped bell pepper, then drizzle in some fresh lemon juice and season with salt to taste.
Step 10
Bring this colorful mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to medium-low.
Step 11
Cover the skillet and let it simmer, allowing the potatoes and bell peppers to become tender and infused with all those wonderful spices, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes.

As you near the finish line, don’t forget to sprinkle some freshly chopped cilantro leaves on top for a burst of freshness.
