Stuffed Capsicum

The market was flooded with capsicums, so I decided to prepare stuffed capsicums. You can either bake or steam these stuffed capsicums instead of frying them in oil, as it is more healthy. I have tried both methods and it has turned out well.Today we will learn how to make stuffed Capsicum/Bell pepper curry following this easy recipe.

Preparing the capsicums

Remove the stem and scoop out the seeds inside carefully and fill it with the potato stuffing. Grease the capsicums on the outside with oil.

Method

Preheat an oven at 180 degree C for 10 minutes and bake the capsicums for 10-15 minutes at 180 degree C or until done (be careful not to burn it).
