Equipment
- Tawa
Ingredients
- 4 Capsicum
- 3 Boiled Potatoes Mash the potatoes throughly
- 1 Onion Small size, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder
- 1/3 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/3 tsp Red Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/3 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 3 Tbsp Oil
Instructions
- First of all, take the centre crown/stem part of bell pepper and remove all the seeds from inside. Pepper should be hollow and empty from inside.
- Wash them and keep aside for drying.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan over low heat. Once warm, add cumin seeds. When the cumin seeds crackle, add salt, chilli powder, turmeric powder and coriander powder and sauté.
- Add mashed potatoes in this and mix them well with the help of 2-3 tablespoon water. Switch off the heat and let it cool. Our stuffing is ready.
- Once the stuffing is cool enough, start stuffing it in the peppers. Do it gently otherwise peppers can break.
- Heat a non stick pan / tava on low heat and pour 1 tablespoon oil on it. Now, Slice the stuffed peppers and place these slices in the heated pan / tava.
- Shallow fry them in both side till the pepper ring is little soft.
- Take them out on a plate and serve hot with Dal, rice and parantha.
Notes
- Don’t overcook the capsicum discs as that will end up in pepper shrinking and stuffing coming out.
- Stuff the peppers slowly and gently so that they are filled to bottom.
