This is an excellent recipe with red capsicum/
peppers.Good to be served as starters.
The bright red colour attracts you ,even if you
are not a vegetable lover.
Considering the health benefits, and the rich
nutrients it contains ,I try adding into salads ,
chutneys ,rice ……..Red capsicum when
compared to the green has more benefits
and taste,so do try red capsicum often .( do I
sound like a brand ambassador for red
capsicum?🤣)
