Green bell pepper

Green bell pepper by Jakub Kapusnak is licensed under CC-CC0 1.0

Bell pepper is found in many colors like red, yellow and green but  in India and Pakistan the green color is very common and generally while cooking spicy food people use the green ones. It tastes very good with all kinds of meat, although people also cook it with potatoes but usually on special occasions it is cooked with meat.

Todays recipe is liked by most people and even by children. I hope you all will also like the recipe and try.
