Baby Corn Capsicum curry

Baby Corn Capsicum curry
Serves 3 people

This is a very mild and creamy curry. Capsicum is one of my favorite vegetables. Whether eaten raw in a salad or just added as a garnish to a gravy it imparts a rather unique taste and flavor. This is one of those gravies which tastes like the restaurant ones. Children would love it, if you just skip the chili part !
