Corn Capsicum Masala is a great sidedish for phulka /chapathi or even for mild pulaos.We all love sweet corn so anything made with it a winner here so made this corn capsicum combo in the usual onion tomato gravy that I make for most sidedishes and it turned out so delicious.It had a mild sweet taste from both corn and capsicum which we loved and it paired so well with phulkas.
You know?! My sil gifted this bowl 2 yrs back and I so love it 🙂 Thank you Priya for the beautiful brown bowl!! :))

My Notes:

- Adding cream gives a creamy and rich restaurant flavour.I used homemade fresh cream.
- The consistency should be flowing and creamy.
- Toasting capsicum and adding at the final stage gives a nice crunch as in restaurants.
