Gobi Shimla Mirch Ki Sabzi – Cauliflower Capsicum Curry


Gobi Shimla Mirch Ki Sabzi – Cauliflower Capsicum Curry:

Bell peppers and cauliflower are very nutritious. They are rich in vitamins and fiber. I love bell pepper’s flavor and taste. So I usually use it in many dishes I make.

I had some cauliflower and bell pepper sitting in my fridge for a short while. First, I was gonna make Gobi manchurian but after I saw the bell peppers I decided to make this gobi shimla mirch ki sabzi.
