Stuffed Bell Peppers (Bharva Hari Mirch) Recipe
Ingredients:
2 small green bell peppers
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/8 tsp mustard seeds
2 cup shredded cabbage
1/4 cup carrots, grated
1/8 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coriander
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, optional
Preparation:
Wash and dry the bell peppers. Cut the bell peppers lengthwise (from the
stem side) in half. Remove the seeds and cut out the pulp part near the
stem, leaving the pepper in a cup-like form. Set aside. Heat 1/2 tsp. oil
in a large, nonstick fry pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds, covering
with a lid to avoid splattering. Fry for a few seconds until the mustard
seeds stop popping. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots. Stir. Add
turmeric, salt, coriander and cayenne pepper and stir. Cover with a lid,
heat through, reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes. The vegetables should
be slightly tender. If there is any excess liquid accumulated at the
bottom of the pan, increase heat to evaporate it. Remove from the heat and
cool to room temperature. Divide cabbage mixture into eight equal parts.
Stuff the bell pepper halves with the mixture. Clean the fry pan and heat
the remaining 1-1/2 tsp. oil over medium heat. Place the stuffed bell
peppers in the hot oil with the stuffed side f! ! acing up. Reduce heat,
cover with a lid and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the bell peppers become
tender. The bottom of the bell peppers will be slightly black. Transfer
the bell peppers to a serving tray.
