When I am in a hurry and looking for something simple, quick and nourishing, simple curries paired with phulkas are my favorite menu choice. I never get tired of this simple comforting combination. On such days I only want to make curries that are really fast to make and do not involve any elaborate steps. This corn bell pepper curry definitely fits the bill.
This curry is inspired by this lemon flavored corn salad. Every time I made the salad, I kept thinking that the combination of corn and bell pepper would work great in a curry too and that I need to try it out one day. Once I did, this curry became a regular in my kitchen. This is a quick, flavorful and simple curry with a emphasis on the simple, no exotic spices or flavors. It tastes works very well with phulkas (Indian flat bread) but also tastes just as good in any Indian themed meal. This time I made it with some jeera brown rice (cumin flavored brown rice) and some dhal :)

I used frozen corn kernels, but you can easily use fresh corn kernels too, it might take a little longer to cook but not too much longer :)
