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.
