Notes

  • Use cream of the coconut milk to make it extra creamy and rich. 
  • Use green capsicum or bell pepper.
  • Use freshly grounded spices.
  • You can finely chop the bell pepper or cut them lengthwise.
  • Use red or brown potatoes, and peel the skin before adding it to the curry.
  • I have used green bell peppers for this curry, but feel free to add the colored ones to make them more eye-catchy for the kids.
  • Be sure to adjust your spice levels based on the kind of bell pepper.
  • The red and yellow peppers tend to be a little sweeter than the green kind and sometimes that can become a factor in the taste.
