Ingredients you need:
• 4-5 capsicums (green, red, or yellow)
• 2 large potatoes (boiled and mashed)
• 1 cup paneer (mashed)
• 1 onion (finely chopped)
• 2-3 green chillies (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mango powder
• Salt to taste
• 2-3 tablespoons oil
• Fresh coriander leaves
Follow these instructions
Step 1- Wash capsicums and cut off the top to use as a lid. Remove the seeds inside to create space for the filling.
Step 2- Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds, allowing them to crackle. Next, add the finely chopped onion and green chilies, and sauté until golden brown.
Step 3- Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, and salt, then mix well. Add the mashed potatoes and paneer, stirring thoroughly and cooking with the spices.
Step 4- Add dry mango powder, mix everything together, and allow the mixture to cool.
Step 5- Once the stuffing has cooled, fill the capsicum with it and place the cut top back on like a lid. You can also secure it with a toothpick if desired.
Step 6- Heat some oil in a large kadhai or non-stick pan.
Step 7- Place the stuffed capsicum in the pan, cover it, and cook on a low flame. Turn the capsicum occasionally to ensure even cooking on all sides.
Step 8- When the capsicum becomes soft and turns light golden brown on the outside, remove it from the heat.
Step 9- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve it with roti, paratha, or naan.
