Cauliflower Bell pepper Stir Fry

Niranjana Sankaranarayanan

Cauliflower- Bell pepper stir fry is one of the simple, easy to make dry sabzi with very mild flavours. Here I have used cauliflower, red- green – yellow Bell peppers and hence the name Cauliflower Bell pepper stir fry.  We can also add corn, babycorn and green peas in this recipe and it’s purely our choice. Here I have used equal measures of all the four vegetables. But we can increase the quantity of cauliflower if we love that way. This stir fry is so comforting. They look colourful so it will also tempt the kids to eat it with roti or phulka.
