Stuffed Capsicum - Yennegai capsicum

Its long time since I posted something. I tried out something yesterday which turned out to be too good, so was reminded to visit this place to post it :)

It is a north karnataka dish which I learned from my friend. It tastes extremely yummy!

The things required are:

1. Small capsicums - 4 nos
2. Big onion - 2
3. Tomato -1
4. Coriander leaves - 1/4 cup
5. Ground nut roasted - handful
6. white seasame - 1 tbsp
7. Jeera - 1/2 tbsp
8. Green chilly - 1
9. Red chilli powder - 1tbsp
10. Coriander powder - 1/2 tbsp
11. Garlic - 4 cloves
12. Salt to taste
13. Oil - 6-8 tbsp.

The preparation is very simple. Make a hole in the stem side of the capsicum and remove all the seeds and leave them hollow.

Now grind all the ingredients from 2 to 12 into a coarse paste.

Stuff this paste into all the capsicums. Heat oil in a non stick pan and place these capsicums on it and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 3 mins on medium heat. Then turn the capsicums to the next side and cover and cook. continue the process till the capsicums are cooked roasted. If there are ground paste left, when the capsicums are half cooked, add the paste to it and cook together.

The color of the paste also would turn brown and would look mouth watering.

Remove from heat and serve hot with Jolad roti or Chapathi.

Nothing would be left out at the end of the day. It would fly in minutes. Do give it a try :)

I would definitely want to thank my friend for such a wonderful dish.

Thanks Roopa! Thank you so much! :)
