Bell Pepper with Peanuts is a simple side dish, yet has the amazing flavors that go well with Chapatis, Rotis or with Rice. A nutritious accompaniment with great color and texture is quick to make. The softness if the Bell Peppers and the almost boiled effect of the Peanuts is a great combination with the sourness of the lime at the end – just mouth-watering! Bell Peppers are also known as Capsicums and in Hindi, they are known as Shimla Mirch.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4-6

Ingredients:

Bell Pepper (Capsicum) – 3, cubed
Jalapenos – 3, cubed (optional)
Raw Peanuts – 1/2 cup
Oil – 1 tbsp
Cumin Seeds – 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida – 1/8th tsp
Turmeric Powder – 1/4 tsp
Cumin Powder – 1/2 tsp
Coriander Powder – 1/2 tsp
Salt – to taste
Lime Juice – to taste

Method:

1. Heat Oil in a pan on medium-high heat.
2. Add in Cumin Seeds and allow them to sizzle.
3. Add Turmeric Powder and Peanuts.
4. Cook till the Peanuts get a golden color coating (approx 2 min).
5. Add in the Bell Peppers and the Jalapenos.
6. Add in Cumin Powder, Coriander Powder and the Salt. Mix.
7. Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes. Keep stirring in-between.
8. The Bell-Peppers should be tender, but not mushy and they should be a little caramelized.
9. Turn off the flame and add lots of Lime Juice to taste.
10. Serve hot.

Tips:

1. Use Roasted peanuts to make the dish a little faster.
2. Add an additional Bell-Pepper instead of the Jalapenos or remove the seeds of the Jalapenos for a milder flavor.

   I make a similar kind of bell pepper subzi with all colored ones,it does not affect the taste it gets more colorful so more eye appealing, what i do different is instead of using the whole pea nuts i partially crush them and add sesame seeds as well. Thia looks good as well. Thanks again for all the recipies Hetal and Anuja, great work.

   I make something like that too with the multi-colored bell peppers too. I find that the orange and yellow have a slightly sweeter taste than the green and red ones, but they substitute nicely.

   I used cashews instead of the peanuts when I don’t have them in stock.

   This is a really good one.

   Hi Hema,

   Absolutely! Multicolored peppers will work great, providing a bit sweeter taste.

    Instead of using the spices mentioned, I use vanghi-bhaath powder. It is a mixture of different spices and tastes great! I add peanuts only if I am mixing it with rice. Otherwise I add tomatoes or potatoes or cauliflower with bell pepper. They all each give different taste.

    Hey I am from Dubai, This was an easy and tangy and nice taste. I would suggest if the peanuts are coarsely grounded. Thanx
