Boiling shimla mirchain for 20 min,isnt it too much?as it takes few mins to cook .

Re: Allo aur Shimla Mirchein

aaish, i cook on low heat. so, luckily, my shimla mirchein never became mushed. an water is little. not a lot. you may try less time.

hi mehraab, shimla mirchein are really good when they are cooked properly.
diff colored bell peppers -make a curry look nice to. green bell peppers can be used raw, washed and sliced as part of salad, too.

Re: Allo aur Shimla Mirchein

One question Dush,
why do you boil em first?
Can't you just let them cook in the pan?
