Ingredients

  • 2 medium green capsicums (bell peppers)
  • ½ cup boiled mashed potatoes
  • 2 tbsp grated paneer (optional)
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp red chilli powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp oil for stuffing
  • ½ cup Zestora Red Gravy (Add water or milk)
  • 1 tbsp oil for curry
  • Fresh coriander for garnish

Method – Step-by-Step

Step 1: Prepare the Stuffing
 In a bowl, mix boiled potatoes, grated paneer, turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2: Stuff the Capsicums
 Cut the top of each capsicum, remove seeds, and stuff tightly with the filling. Press gently.

Step 3: Cook the Stuffed Capsicums
 In a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil and shallow fry the stuffed capsicums on all sides until slightly charred and soft. Remove and set aside.

Step 4: Prepare the Gravy Base
 In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp oil. Add ½ cup Zestora Red Gravy and cook for 2–3 minutes until hot.

Step 5: Combine and Simmer
 Place the cooked stuffed capsicums in the gravy, cover, and simmer for 5–6 minutes so they absorb the flavours.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve
 Top with chopped coriander and serve warm.
