About
Aloo Shimla Mirch is a comforting veg Ghar ka Khaana dish prepared without deep frying. This homestyle sabzi brings together soft, tender potatoes and crisp green capsicum, sautéed with everyday Indian spices to create a savoury, mildly tangy, and aromatic side dish. The combination of aloo and shimla mirch is popular for its balanced textures—creamy potatoes paired with the slight crunch of bell peppers. The dish typically includes flavours of cumin, turmeric, coriander powder, red chilli, and sometimes a hint of amchur for a subtle tang. It pairs wonderfully with rotis, parathas, or dal–rice, making it a staple in many Indian households.
