Green bell peppers lend themselves to a variety of cuisines, assuming the flavors with great ease, be it on Italian pizza or in South Indian sambar or vethakozhambu. They are also an incredible candidate for stuffing - forget turkeys! Thanksgiving has come and gone - Let's keep it green y'all!
And another beauty about this dish is you can pretty well pick any veggies for the stuffing - no hard and fast rules - be creative and go with what you like best - Hopefully though, even if you are not a fan of Bell peppers, this could be the turning point :-)
I will give you a step by step pictorial to follow - try this one and let me know how it turns out

Stuffed peppers look so nice..
ReplyDeleteWow, love the idea of baking it instead of cooking it on counter top and how does yogurt help? I see that along with oil, you also applied little yogurt on outside on bell peppers. Just curious :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Gayathri
ReplyDeletePriya, to answer your question, I put some yogurt and salt on the pepper so that some of it could get absorbed as it cooked and give it some flavor since there is not other spicing done to the pepper itself, per se
really very nice
ReplyDeleteThis dish very new to me. Nice recipe.Will try one day.
