Ingredients

• 4 medium sizes bell peppers (green, red, yellow). make sure they are flat at the bottom and can stand on their own without rolling over.

• 1 cup paneer or cottage cheese finely crumbled
• 1 red o nion finely chopped
• garlic – 3-4 cloves (minced)
• 1 green chilli finely sliced
• fresh corainader a handful
• 2 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp garam masala
• Half a cup of oil for shallow frying
• salt – as per taste

easy peasey method

stuffing:

• take 1 tsp oil in a pan, add the onions, garlic and chilli. when they start to sweat, add all spices, mashed potatoes and paneer.
• cook for 5 minutes until all ingredients have mixed well

for stuffed bell peppers

• cut the head off the bell peppers and wash inside out
• remove the seeds and flesh on the inside and create a hollow
•  stuff these peppers with the stuffing prepared above.
• take a wide pan that can take all 4 peppers upright and on their sides
• shallow fry the peppers and keep turning them on  their sides until all sides are brown in color and skin is just about peeling.
• cover the pan as the oil will start to spit outside as peppers release water while cooking
• peppers are ready when they are no longer raw and neither too soft.

tip: if time is not an issue, you can even roast them in  the oven instead of deep frying which will take slightly longer.

eat as it is or with a naan/roti
