Capsicum Corn Masala

Lot of experiments can be made with capsicum. Capsicum corn masala is one such recipe. It can be prepared in two ways. One is a semi-thick gravy adding cashew nut paste, cream etc which is the restaurant style, and the other is a simple dry dish that we make at home on a daily basis. The dry one is low in calories and is a healthier option. It goes well with roti.
