Ingredients:

Potato : 2

Onion: 2 

Capsicum/bell pepper : 2

Garlic: 5-6 cloves

Oil: 2 tbsp

Cumin seeds: 1 tsp

Red chilli powder: 2 tsp

Turmeric: 1/4 tsp

Salt to taste

Lemon juice: 1 tbsp

Coriander leaves for garnish 

Method: 

1. Scrub, peel and cut potato into wedges. Cut capsicum into long strips, chop onion into cubes and keep aside.

2. Heat oil in a deep pan and add cumin seeds, sauté for 30 seconds. 

3. Add chopped garlic and onion and sauté until onion turns translucent.

4. Add potato wedges and mix well. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Do not add any water.

5. Potato will start browning on the edges then add capsicum and sauté for 2 minutes.

6. Mix in salt, red chilli powder and turmeric give a quick stir so that everything is combined well. Cook for another 3-4 minutes on high flame and turn off the gas.

7. Add lemon juice and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve delicious stir fried veggies with roti/chapathi.

Notes:
1. Do not over cook the capsicum which will make it soggy. I prefer to keep it slightly crunchier retaining all its flavors.
2. You can add other masalas like coriander powder and garam masala if you like more masala flavors.
