Corn capsicum masala, an easy to prepare recipe with sweet corn and colourful capsicum in a delicious gravy. With step by step pictures.
I had this corn capsicum masala in a restaurant and loved it a lot. Both Vj and Aj loved it. We all are sweet corn fans and very often make sweet corn chaat for evening snack. At least twice a week. So obviously, this was really delicious and we enjoyed this a lot.
It was creamy, tangy as well as slightly sweet. So I thought I could make it as I make the usual Masala and add capsicum and corn to it. It turned out great and Aj loved it a lot with dal and rice. I made it for dinner with roti and it was perfect too. So add this to your side dish for chapati list and impress your family😊.

Wonderful recipe! Made it today and instead of cream I ground a cashew & water paste to add to the tomato/onion/garlic mixture. Perfect for vegans like me! 🙂 Thank you it was delicious!

I tried it. It's an amazing curry,simple delicious, everyone loved it and appreciated it. I did not had the blender so i grated the onion and fried it first until the raw smell was gone. Followed by grated tomato and cooked until oil separated from the masala. Personally i like capsicum a little more cooked so next time i will finely chop the capsicum and fry ituntil it is a little soft. Other than these changes i followed the recipe as it is. Very nice recipe plz keep up the good job. Bless you and and your family 🙂

You can skip, adjust spice accordingly. You can add milk too.
