# Let us start the recipe of "Stuffed Capsicum"...

# Ingredients...

2. Boiled potatoes...5....400 gram

10. Chopped coriander leaves

11. Salt to taste or 1 and half Tea spoon

12. Oil for frying....3 Table spoon only

# Method of Making...

# Firstly wash well capsicums and Wipe them with a clean cloth for drying out.

# Then cut it's upper portion a little and Seed out like the following picture...

# Here we will make the potatoes filling....for this..

Peel the skin of boiled potatoes....

add all the ingredients like salt, asafoetida, red chilli powder,  little turmeric powder, amchur powder, garam masala, chopped green chillies and ginger and coriander leaves etc.and mash it properly.

Here we are not frying the potatoes filling because it can be avoided easily.

We are making this stuffed shimla mirch cut in slices and later it has to be well fried from the both sides automatically with a nice taste.

# Fill all the Capsicums with mashed potatoes tightly with the help of a spoon or by your hands.

Put the filling in the hollow capsicum and press it so that it could not come out while frying.

# Cut the slices like the following picture..

# Place a non-stick pan or Tawa on the medium flame with a spoon oil.

Spread the oil on the surface for making it smooth.

Now place all the slices of Stuffed Capsicum on Tawa one by one and sprinkle few drops of oil.

# Cover it with its lid and cook it for 5 minutes on the slow flame and then flip them to the other side.

# In this way flip them again, add a little oil and cook it for 5 minutes more from the other side till soft and crispy.

Lastly...fry it openly on the medium flame ( without covering for avoiding water drops ) that for 2 to 3 minutes from the both sides.

In this way,  "Delicious Stuffed Shimla Mirch" is ready to serve.

# You can make it on an iron Tawa too like the following picture.

Just sprinkle few drops of oil and water together and clean the tawa with a clean cloth.

Repeat this step two times..spread a little oil and fry Shimla Mirch like the non stick Tawa.

# Note...

# You can add boiled and mashed peas or Mater as available in the stuffing.

Paneer filling doesn't taste good.

# Just press the stuffing tightly so that it could not come out.

# Better use two spoons for flipping the slices...it makes it very easy.

Thanku Friends.

Thanks again.
