Corn Capsicum Masala Recipe, How to make Corn Capsicum Sabji

April 2, 2015 by Gopi Patel 13 Comments

corn capsicum masala recipe step by step

Corn capsicum masala recipe (restaurant style) with step by step pics – A delicious punjabi curry of corn kernels & capsicum cooked in creamy onion & tomato gravy. Wow isn’t that yummylicious!! This curry is a must for sweet corn lovers like me.

Corn capsicum masala is mildly spicy and tasty Indian curry that you will find in almost all Indian restaurant menu. For a vegetarian menu, corn capsicum masala is a must recipe like any other popular paneer dishes. In restaurants the chef make this corn capsicum masala using the brown gravy that they precook and use. However when we are making this curry at home we cannot do that, so I am sharing a recipe that I think will make corn capsicum masala much like the restaurant version. In this punjabi sabji I have added a generous pinch of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) which gives the corn capsicum masala a distinct taste. Also by adding fresh cream or malai we can make the gravy rich.

Corn is a versatile ingredient. We make so many different varieties of dishes using this one ingredient. I have used sweet corn kernels in making a yummy party finger dish called rice & sweet corn bites.  Also corn kernels can be used in many Indian main course dishes such as palak corn sabji or sweet corn masala. The simple boiled corn kernels combined with cheese makes a perfect evening snack. And when we combine corn and capsicum together and cook in a yummy punjabi gravy the result is simply amazing.

This corn capsicum masala sabji is easy to make at home once you have done a little preparation. If you are planning to make this sabji for guests for gettogether or parties then I suggest you can boil the corn kernels and puree the tomato before hand. This way you can save a lot of time. Also this corn capsicum masala goes really well not only with chappatis or phulkas but it is a great side dish for vegetable pulao, capsicum pulav or jeera rice too.
