These pan grilled stuffed capsicum are delicious with a burst of Indian flavors. They can be eaten as a appetizer or a side in your meal. My kids love them as a after school snack with this tomato soup or with sandwiches. I consider these stuffed capsicum to be healthy as they are pan fried and loaded with veggies. You can use any kind of bell peppers – large or tinker bell peppers. To make the stuffing, I have used potatoes, peas and carrot. Veggies like Cauliflower, baby corn, sweet corn, sweet potatoes or mushrooms can also be used. A handful of roasted cashews or peanuts can also be added to the stuffing to add crunch. These potato stuffed bell peppers can also be grilled in a oven. It is convenient to oven grill especially when you make a large batch.

Preparation

  1. Boil or steam the veggies. I prefer to steam the potatoes first.
  2. When the potatoes are 3/4th cooked, i add carrots and peas to the steam basket. Steam for a little longer until just cooked.
  3. Rinse the capsicums. Small to medium sized ones work better, else they will have to be cut before serving.
  4. Cut off the tops. I also cut slightly on the bottom for frying them conveniently.
  5. Deseed them gently.

How to make stuffed capsicum

  1. Heat a pan with oil. Fry cumin and garlic until the garlic smells good.
  2. Add sliced onions. I also added the tiny chunks of capsicum which i got after cutting the top.
  3. When the onions turn golden, add red chili powder,garam masala or any other spice powder and crushed kasuri methi.
  4. Saute just for a minute.
  5. Add the steamed veggies and chopped coriander leaves.
  6. Mash them well. Add salt as needed. Mix with the onion masala.
  7. Stuff the capsicums.
  8. Heat the same pan with oil. Add the stuffed peppers.
  9. Cover and cook on a medium to low flame until the capsicum is half cooked or fully cooked to suit your taste. These can be grilled in a preheated oven at 160 C for 8 to 15 mins.
  10. Sprinkle very little chaat masala mixed with a pinch of salt. Serve stuffed capsicums warm.
