Capsicum Butter Fry with Potatoes - Stir-Fried Spring Onions and Parsley


A colourful medley of potatoes and capsicum tossed in an aromatic butter-spice mix, this dish is a quick and flavoursome side. The sweetness of the capsicum is balanced by the earthiness of the potatoes, while the spring onions and parsley add a fresh finishing touch. A splash of soy sauce and tomato ketchup lends a subtle umami depth. Pair this stir-fry with either rice or rotis for a satisfying meal.

Steps

Step 1: Boil and chop the potatoes

Time: 15 minutes

Boil the potatoes in salted water until just tender but still firm. Drain, let cool slightly, then peel and chop into large chunks.

 

Step 2: Sauté onions and capsicum

Time: 3 minutes

Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Once it's bubbling, add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Toss in the chopped yellow, red and green capsicum and cook for 1-2 minutes until they start to soften slightly.

 

Step 3: Add potatoes and season

Time: 2 minutes

Add the boiled potato chunks to the pan. Sprinkle salt and mix well. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the potatoes are lightly golden.

 

Step 4: Stir in ginger and spices

Time: 2 minutes

Add the chopped ginger, Sunrise Jeera Powder, Sunrise Haldi Powder, and Sunrise Lal Mirch Powder to the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

 

Step 5: Add sauces

Time: 1 minute

Pour in the soy sauce and tomato ketchup. Mix thoroughly and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, letting the flavours meld.

 

Step 6: Finish with spring onions and parsley

Time: 1 minute

Finally, add the chopped spring onions and parsley leaves. Give everything a good stir and cook for 30 seconds more. Turn off the heat.

 

Step 7: Serve hot

Time: 1 minute

Transfer the Capsicum Butter Fry to a serving dish. Garnish with extra spring onions and parsley if you like. Serve hot as a side dish with rice, roti or paratha. Enjoy!
