Start by cutting off the top and bottom of the capsicum. Then, grab your knife and carefully rotate it around the middle. This will help separate the core .

If you're adding capsicum to noodles, julienne it into thin strips for even cooking. Chopping it roughly can cause it to cook unevenly, so keep those cuts nice and thin!

When making gravies like Shahi Paneer, chop the capsicum into small pieces. This helps it cook evenly with the spices and blend smoothly when pureed.

To make salad-ready capsicum, slice off the sides and then cut those into 4-5 strips lengthwise. Stack them together and chop finely with a sharp knife for the best texture.
