“To celebrate the completion of dazzling 2 years of this food event, JFI and VoW is coming together this spring to invite you to cook colorful dishes with ”Bell Peppers “.

I don’t know whether it will be selected or not,but i am excited for this maiden attempt of mine, to participate in a foodblog event

Here’s the recipe,hope you like it:)

 Ingredients:

• Green bell peppers(shimla mirch,capsicum) 3-4 
• Onions 3
• Green chillies 3
• Garlic 4 cloves
• Coriander leaves , a handful
• Ginger(optional)
• Salt as per taste
• Turmeric powder 1/4 tspn
• Coriander powder 1 tspn
• Garam masala powder 1/4 tspn(optional)
• Oil for shallow frying

Method:

• Wash bell peppers thoroughly and slice off their top
• Scrap the seeds to get a hollow space for stuffing
• Meanwhile peel and grate onion,pound greenchillies,coriander leaves,garlic and ginger(optional) in mortar pestle(hamam dasta)
• Mix grated onion,and pounded mixture,add some salt,and dry masalas
• Stuff bell peppers with this mixture and  Shallow fry  with minimum oil,on a low flame(Its better to use non stick pan)
• Keep on tossing the bellpeppers at regular intervals
• Cook till stuffing changes its colour
• Could be served with daal chaawal,or roti
• Note:If you prefer crunchy bell peppers,then it would be better to first cook the stuffing,i.e stir fry grated onions along with ginger-garlic and add dry masalas.Then stuff this mixture into bell peppers and cook again on low flame .This way ,the bellpeppers will remain crunchy as you won’t need to cook it for long coz ; stuffing is already cooked
