Phepho Mirch (plural= Phepha Mirch-a) is a delicious Sindhi style preparation. It could be had as a side dish with Dal, rice and Roti. The stuffing is a popular Sindhi style mix, often used for stuffing whole vegetables. Coming to AlifBe series, we are now at the 34th Consonant in Sindhi script and it is ڦ  in Sindhi, फ in Devanagari and ‘Ph’, as in photo/phone, in Roman Sindhi. You can check the video of “how to write ڦ in Sindhi” on my You Tube channel –Sindhi Rasoi Official And a corresponding Sindhi dish is Phepho Mirch. Phepho in Sindhi means flabby (पिलपिला) and Mirch means chilli/pepper. The dish Phepho mirch refers to stuffed pepper/chilli which, post cooking, turns soft. Mostly Capsicum (Bell pepper/Shimla mirch) is used to make this but one can use any variety of thicker chillies, like the one used for making Mirchi pakora (Chilli fritters) or Bhavnagri mirchi etc. And while it may sound like a regular Bharwan mirchi (stuffed capsicum), the stuffing used here is different. The stuffing here is made from grated onions and pounded coriander, chillies, ginger garlic etc. It is a typical Sindhi style stuffing where potatoes are not used . You can use the same stuffing in bitter gourds as well as in apple gourds! You can use raw stuffing as discussed here Print Phepho Mirch For AlifBe ~34 Ingredients Capsicum 250 gm Onions 3 Chillies 2 Garlic 4-5 cloves Ginger 1 inch piece Coriander leaves chopped, 1 small bunch Turmeric powder ½ tbsp Coriander powder 2 tbsp Amchoor powder ½ tbsp (optional) Asafoetida two pinches Garam masala powder ½ tbsp (optional) Salt as per taste Oil 3 tbsp (1+2) Method Pleased note: You can stuff bellpeppers with raw stuffing. But here I am sharing the recipe where the stuffing is precooked since bell peppers (capsicum) take less time to cook as compared to the stuffing. Using a mortar and pestle, pound ginger, garlic, chillies and coriander leaves, till coarse. Peel and grate the onions. Remove seeds from each capsicum to make it hollow so that it could be stuffed well. Make sure that the mouth of the Capsicum is not too wide or the stuffing may fall out while cooking. In a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil and add asafoetida. Add grated onions and saute well till lill pinkish. Add the pounded mix. Add salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder and amchoor, if using. Mix well and cook on medium flame till the rawness of onions and garlic is gone (10-12 minutes) Stuff this mixture in hollowed bell peppers and press the stuffing well using back of the spoon. In a pan, heat 2 tbsp oil and place the stuffed peppers TIP: If the peppers are uneven from the closed end, just slice off the edges, so that the peppers would stand vertical in the pan. Cook on high heat for a minute and then lower the flame.Cover the pan. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping sides once or twice so that peppers cook well from all the sides. If you like crunchier peppers, cook for lesser time. Towards the end cook the peppers without the lid else these may ooze out moisture later. Also you can closely monitor the charring of the capsicum. Serve hot with rotis/phulkas. I like these as a side dish with dal and rice. 3.5.3251 Recipe video of Phepho Mirch i.e Sindhi style Stuffed Capsicum/bell pepper/Shimla mirch:

I expect this reaction from everyone , very obviously , Since Pizza is not even remotely related to Sindhi Cuisine. But this is an exception, because it’s my Apple of Eye’s Birthday Tomorrow ( 4th December). Yeah, My Son (ok ok Our son …Happy Honey ? ) Will turn SIX tomorrow. So as I was discussing the menu for his Birthday- lunch box,  bubbling with excitement he replied …..Bread Pizza .The day he saw this lovely looking bread covered with melted cheese at Srivalli’s Spice your life, he ask for some, almost everyday, since then. The fun part is that he can  himself fix the dish ( except of course chopping and cooking part) and that makes him more happy. I tweaked srivalli’s idea a bit and used some fresh vegetable toppings to make it more healthier. And believe me, it tastes as good as those  branded pizzas. My son insisted to put up this as my new post on his b’day, so here I am with this simple, quick fix healthy Pizza …just for you…. my adorable Kid ! Print Bread Pizza for the Birthday Boy Prep time:  5 mins Cook time:  5 mins Total time:  10 mins Serves: 1 Healthier bread pizza, brown bread slices topped with assorted vegetables and cheese Ingredients Brown bread or whole wheat bread slice  1 (adjust portions according to requirements) Butter to spread on slice Finely chopped capsicum,Tomato, onion, cabbage (grated) 2 tsp Cheese (whichever available) to cover the topping (use as much preferred) Salt just a pinch Black pepper (optional) a pinch Tomato ketchup Oregano  (optional) a pinch Method Roast the bread slice only on one side, till bit crisp.You can use pan or griddle on stove top.Skip this step if you are using Microwave. Now on roasted side apply some butter,spread chopped vegetables to cover whole slice, sprinkle some salt, pepper, oregano (optional) and cover it with grated cheese Now put it again on griddle or pan or microwave it for a minute or till cheese melts. In case of pan or griddle put the flame on low, cover the bread with some dome shape vessel (in such a way that it doesn't touch the bread surface) and place some weight over it, since the bread turns crisp too fast while cheese needs some time to melt When cheese melts (taking care that bread shouldn't burn), place it on a serving plate and cut it into four pieces and top every piece with a dash of tomato ketchup. Watch your kids wiping the plate clean and asking for more 2.2.1
