Bell Pepper Curry / Capsicum Gravy (VEGAN)

Capsicums also known as bell peppers are basically peppers of less pungent varieties which are available in different colors like yellow, red, green, orange and even in purple. Green and purple peppers are slightly bitter in taste whereas red, yellow and orange have a sweeter and fruity taste. The less pungent nature of these pepper means these are not too strong in smell and taste, but that doesn’t mean that these are not good for our health. (https://www.redmanpowerchair.com) Capsicums are used as spices, vegetables and medicinal purposes because of the numerous health benefits provided by them like helps in iron deficiency (Anemia) in our body, helps in removing toxins, good source of Vitamin B6 & magnesium, increases metabolism etc.

Here I have come up with a curry or gravy type dish using these bell peppers or capsicum as Bell Pepper Curry / Capsicum Gravy. Two colors of capsicum like red and green are used for this gravy based dish here, any other color varieties can be chosen as per availability. The dish is so easy and quick to prepare. The use of peanuts and coconut give the curry a rich and creamy base which in result tastes so delicious. I have prepared without using onion and garlic. Since here no milk or cream are used for making the gravy creamier so the dish is vegan completely. This capsicum gravy perfectly fit as a combo with roti / paratha. So do try these colorful deliciously creamy and healthy Bell Pepper Curry.
