This colorful Indian classic combines sweet red peppers and crispy potatoes into an elevated vegetarian-friendly meal or side. A spritz of lime juice adds an extra flavor pep. Priya suggests pairing it with tortillas and scrambled eggs for an Indo-Texan breakfast taco. This recipe was adapted from Priya's cookbook, Indian-ish: Recipes and Antics from a Modern American Family.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
