      hi priya,

           Usually it is added to get the authentic taste,since capsicum has its own aroma and enhances the flavour of this dish.

          If u want u can try without that…

    HI,

    I just found ur website when i was looking for a recipe on spring rolls. I love ur site. I am not a great cook,but I want to learn. You r doing a great job. Keep it up.

    I have a doubt in the “Kadai paneer” recipe. You said to “pound the red chillies and the corriander seeds together”. But in the next paragraph you said “In a wok add corriander seeds”. So do u use 1tsp of corriander seeds in each part? It would be great if u could clarify this. Thanks.

      hi sri,

          sorry abt that.As i have said in the instruction u can add the whole coriander seeds ,but its optional ,in that  case add 1tsp of whole coriander seeds.The coriander seeds in group 1 has to be pounded.
