Notes: This is an amazingly delicious bell pepper and potato recipe. I serve it with roti, paratha, and dal-rice combination. Leftover as fillings for grilled sandwiches, wraps, etc. Another variation of it is with tomatoes and onions. Yes! For the special occasions, I use colored bell peppers -green, red, orange, and yellow. This color combination takes the recipe to an another level.
