Aloo Capsicum(/Bhindi/Beans)

Ingredients:

1. Potatoes - 2 big
2. Capsicum - 2 big
3. Oil - 2-3 tsp.
4. Jeera - 1 tsp.
5. Chilli powder - 1 tsp.
6. Dhania powder - 1 tsp.
7. Pav Bhaji masala ( optional) - 1/2 tsp.
8. Salt - to taste

Procedure:

1. Chop the potatoes and capsicum into half inch pieces.
2. Heat oil in a kadai and temper with jeera.
3. Add the chopped potato and saute for 2-3 minutes. 
4. When the potatoes are half-cooked, add capsicum and saute for 2-3 minutes more.
5. Add chilli powder, dhania powder, pav bhaji masala and salt and mix well.
6. Sprinkle a little water if required and cook with lid on. 
7. Stir it occasionally so that it doesn't get burnt.
8. Remove from flame when it is cooked to the desired level. Some like it when the potatoes are almost mashed and act as a binding agent, whereas some prefer it when the pieces are separate and cooked just right so that they can be bitten into.

Use the same procedure for Aloo Bhindi/ Aloo Beans. You might want to cut the beans/bhindi into 1 inch long fingers and the aloo also in a similar shape. While sauteing, add the beans/bhindi first and then the aloo.
