    Aloo Shimla Mirch (Potato and browned Bell pepper with Mustard and Coriander seeds) Vegan recipe

    Published: Sep 30, 2012 · Modified: Jun 27, 2015 by Richa 17 Comments

     

    A quick post before Mofo begins all October. An easy potato and bell pepper stir fry, with Indian spices.
    The brown mustard seeds and coriander seeds are roasted, green bell pepper is browned a bit, potatoes are then added and cooked through. No ginger garlic, just the spices highlighted in this dish. If you havent tried whole coriander seeds in a dish, this is the one to try out. Potatoes and roasted whole coriander seeds are a match made in (my) heaven 😉



    Our home search is still on, and we keep looking at 3 floor townhouses. I blabbed on facebook, about how the discussions sometime go from serious house stuff to simple things, like who will go and get the icecream or something else to snack on at mignight. With just 12 steps to the kitchen right now, we still wait for one of us to get up from the bed and get it. What will happen when the distance is 2 flights of stairs and a bunch more steps!:)

    Steps:

    Add oil to the pan, heat at medium. Add mustard and coriander seeds, mix and roast for half a minute.


    Add bell peppers and green chili. Mix and cook on medium


    Cook until browned.


    Add turmeric, salt, potatoes. Mix well and cook covered on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 6-7 minutes



    Serve hot. Top with cilantro and serve with Roti/Naan, daal and Indian pickles.

      This is so easy and I have a whole little jar of coriander seeds that I bought for making pickles – what do the whole seeds taste like when cooked and left in the main dish? Do they sofeten when cooked a bit….I have never really cooked with whole spices!

        The coriander seeds soften when cooked and a burst of flavor when you chew on them. i love certain spices whole because they just are so flavorful whole instead of a well mixed when powdered.

      you’re so adorable posting a DAY BEFORE MOFO! this dish does look really freakin good. i can just about taste it!! three floor town houses sound very tall with big distances between the bedroom and kitchen. the house we just bought is a ranch- everything is in relative close proximity 😉

      I love that the distance from bedroom to the kitchen is a factor in your house-hunting process. You are too funny, but I’m totally with you- You gotta have your priorities in place! 😉

      What a lovely little potato dish! I bet the mustard seeds really just make it!
