Aloo Capsicum Sabzi | Dry Sabzi for Roti

Roti-Dal-Sabzi can make me a very happy person.I hear my friends complain all the time about the trouble of kneading the dough,rolling the chapathi and cooking it on the tawa in this blistering Chennai heat,but me,anything is bearable when you are rewarded with warm,soft chapathis,even better when paired with delicious side dishes like these.

When I was pregnant and perennially hungry,I used to make chapathi in bulk and store in the fridge.Whenever hunger pang struck me,I heated up one chapathi,added any sabzi cooked that day on top,rolled and relished.My amma says that's the reason why Arjun loves chapathi :)

Aloo-Capsicum sabzi is a very simple one you can whip up in a jiffy.It is inspired by my friend's cook who made this while we were at her place for dinner one night,along with some Jeera rice and Paneer Makhni.
