Capsicum Mutter Masala

Capsicum Mutter Masala is a creamy rich onion tomato based gravy with the goodness of the vegetables included in it. This makes a delicious side dish for any flatbread.

When we make the weekly paneer butter masala, we are also faced with the resistance from the elders at home, who are bored with the same old PBM repeated every week, without fail! On such days, creamy gravies like what I have today saves the day or dinner rather!

The base is almost the same as what we make for the Paneer Butter Masala, with some tweaks and only now I realized this latest recipe is not yet on the blog! Anyway, this gravy makes an excellent side dish for Parottas and Rotis.

This is the last of the creamy gravies that I am sharing as part of the BM#101, Week 1 for Creamy Gravies.
