Method
- Stabilize your mind by the realization of your true self as a peaceful soul. Remember God with love and create pure, positive & powerful thoughts. Play light divine music or spiritual class recording in the kitchen.
- Take a clay pot and add ¼ cup water & chopped aloo (potatoes) to it.
- Cook for 5 minutes on low flame and sauté in between to avoid burning or change in taste.
- When they become a bit soft, add shimla mirch (capsicum) & ginger and cover with a lid.
- After 3 to 4 minutes, add chopped tomatoes, green chilli, jeera, kali mirchi, peanut butter and turn off the flame.
- Mix well, garnish with fresh dhania leaves and cover with a lid for 5 minutes.
- Offer this satvic shimla mirch aloo with satvic chapati as bhog to God to invoke His ultrapure vibrations into this food so that it becomes prasadam.
- Serve this prasadam to your family with love and eat slowly in God’s remembrance while thanking Him for everything.
Important points to remember
- Do not overcook capsicum as it tastes bitter when overcooked.
- Consume it within 3 to 5 hours of being cooked as after that the pranic energy of cooked food decreases.
- Remember to turn off the flame when you add tomatoes because, as per satvic philosophy, we should not cook tomatoes directly over the flame.
- It is best to use your home-grown, Organic Capsicum and Potatoes for this recipe as we have done!
