Aloo shimla mirch or aloo capsicum is a traditional dish originating from the northern parts of the country. The dish is usually made with a combination of potatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, ginger, onions, cumin, oil, fenugreek leaves, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt.

The cumin is fried in oil with onions and ginger. The potatoes are peeled, chopped, and added to the pan. The mixture is fried over low heat for a few minutes and then mixed with the rest of the ingredients. The dish is stir-fried until the bell peppers are cooked, and aloo shimla mirch is then served with rice or roti on the side.
