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.

Cook on low flames for 5-6 minutes stirring in between.
Now the stuffing is ready.
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).
Alternatively you can steam cook for 10- 15 minutes and enjoy with rice or rotis.

Hi Padhu, I have been following all ur recepies and am a great fan of u. Can u pls let me know hw should i steam cook this.
Anu – Apply little oil all over the capsicum and steam it in a steamer or idli cooker just as you steam idlis . You can steam it like you steam dhoklas also.
