Green Capsicum
Description
The Green Capsicum (Shimla Mirch) is an indispensable staple in Indian kitchens, known for its glossy skin, crunchy texture, and slightly bitter, peppery spark. Unlike its sweeter red and yellow counterparts, the green capsicum offers a crisp, garden-fresh bite that holds up perfectly under high heat.
Culinary Versatility
It is the essential ingredient for the iconic Aloo Shimla Mirch dry subzi and a must have for Kadai Paneer. Its firm structure makes it the best choice for Bharwan Mirch (stuffed capsicum) with a spiced potato filling. It also provides the signature crunch in Indo-Chinese favourites like Veg Manchurian and Chilli Paneer, and adds a refreshing layer to street style Bombay Sandwiches.
Nutritional Benefits
A 100g serving is very low in calories (approx. 20kcal) but high in Vitamin C and Vitamin B6, which are vital for immunity and brain health. Green capsicums are also a great source of Dietary Fiber, aiding digestion, and contain phytonutrients that have anti-inflammatory properties.
Storage & Care
Store in the refrigerator crisper drawer in a breathable bag to maintain its firmness.
Pro-Tip: To keep it from getting soggy in stir fries, add the capsicum toward the end of the cooking process on high heat this preserves its vibrant green color and "snap." Use within 5 to 7 days for the best quality.
