Channa, potato and Capsiucm Subji

I wanted to try an alternative gravy for Channa Masala. Then ended with this subji. I used potato to improve the gravy taste and capsicum to give crunchiness to the gravy.

 We had this gravy with Pulkha Roti. The combination was amazing. Give a try to this tastier and healthy Subji some time..

Here goes the recipe...
