I am sharing a typical indian home style stuffed capsicum recipe today. Capsicum is also known as bell peppers. In hindi, it is known as ” shimla mirch”. This ingredient is widely popular in India.

For this recipe, I simply prepare my potato stuffing with onion and green chili. I wanted to keep this recipe simple but I sometimes add green peas, carrots and garam masala as well. This recipe can be prepared in 30 mins and yes, it goes best with chapati and paratha. It actually works as a side dish but because this is dry curry recipe, I don’t like this bharleli shimla mirch with rice. The choice is always up to you.

Also, you can bake your capsicum instead of cooking in pan. I am actually obsessed with my pan so I usually cook it in the pan. 😉
