Stuffed Shimla Mirch (Stuffed capsicum)

Hi Friends,
Today's recipe is stuffed capsicum- in my traditional recipe I use potatoes filling but you can try variations like paneer, cheese etc. Here goes the recipe..
STUFFED CAPSICUM:












INGREDIENTS:
Shimla Mirch (Capsicum)
Aaloo (Potatoes)
Saunf (Aniseed)
Kalounji (Nigella/ Onion seeds)
Lal mirch (Red chili) powder
Haldi (Turmeric) powder
Namak (Salt)
Aamchur (Dry mango) powder 
Garam masala
Hara dhania (Coriander leaves)

METHOD:
Wash and take away the stalk of capsicum and cut the top. Throw the seeds and clean from inside.
In a pan heat some oil and add saunf and kalounji- let them splutter and then add finely chopped potatoes in it. Add haldi powder, lal mirch powder and namak and let it cook. Once cooked, add aamchur powder, garam masala and chopped hara dhania and your stuffing is ready.
Fill the capsicum with this potato filling, put back it's top lid and cook on low flame. You can also bake these stuffed capsicums.

TIP: If your dear ones love cheese, you can sprinkle some grated mozzarella cheese before baking.

TRICK: To make the dish more presentable, use bell peppers of all the colors as shown in picture.
