Mushroom Capsicum Masala

button241894.jpg  

This is my entry for “Spring Fling 2007-with Family and Friends in the Kitchen.” by Trupti. Thanks Trupti for this great theme , which makes our family and friends to invlove in this. I am really happy that I am posting my hubby’s dish. When I said about this event to my hubby, without any question he said yes!! He is a great cook and I have learnt few new dishes from him. This dish is something special, his bachelor time favourite. This combo is his own imagination of preparing a new dish. Without my help from the scratch to the end he himself prepared this dish. Hope you enjoy this :)

    Hi

    I tried this recipe and it was really great! Me and my husband loved it.. I had actually made this curry for two days, but we ended up eating it all in one go – it was that tasty. We had some left over cottage cheese, which I had added on to this curry. It was yummy!!

    Thanks so much for the recipe!
