This is a simply a tasty and flavorful way to eat capsicum - green bell pepper. Capsicums have a very strong flavor and stuffing them with potatoes only makes them better. They can be eaten as a snack as is or with parantha.
Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes
- 4 small size green bell peppers
- 1 green chili (optional)
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 1/2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp amchur (dried mango powder)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Boil the potatoes (I do this in pressure cooker - you can do this in the microwave too)
- Peel and mash the potatoes
- In a frying pan, pour 2-3 tbsp of oil and heat it.
- When hot - add cumin seeds, coriander powder and red chili.
- Let it brown a bit. Add green chili to fry it little bit.
- Add the mashed potatoes and mix well.
- Add the salt and stir to mix.
- Keep stirring and roasting for 10 mins or so.
- Add the amchur powder and mix well. (It is a good idea to taste the potatoes here to make sure the spices are to the right taste)
- Wash the capsicums and cut them in half. Remove the stem. The seeds inside can be removed or not - its up to your taste.
- Stuff the capsicum with as much potatoes as you can.
- Heat a 8 or 11" flat frying pan. Spray with oil or pour a little oil to just cover the base of the pan.
- Place the capsicums (not the potato side) on the frying pan.
- Cover the pan with the lid and cook until lightly brown.
- Flip the pepper to the other side and turn off the heat. The potato side will now be slightly roasted in the remaining heat.
- Flip the peppers open side up to serve.
