ABOUT Chole Capsicum Masala RECIPE

Chole (chickpea) capsicum (bell pepper) masala is a north Indian style chickpea preparation with capsicum. This cuisine is popular all over India. The chole / kabuli-chana and capsicum (here I have used the green capsicum) are cooked deliciously in a cashew-based curry. The unique flavour of capsicum lends itself really well in this masala curry. Often I made this as a side dish for roti / paratha / any pulao.. So why to wait ? Let’s go by detail instructions mentioned below in order to make this delicious chole capsicum masala.
