    When I posted this Shimla mirch aloo sabji for my Curry in a hurry series, many of my readers on social asked me about stuffed Shimla mirch aloo recipe as well. So I am sharing this Punjabi Stuffed Shimla mirch recipe that my mother makes at home. And, If I say my Mom makes the world best Stuffed capsicum, it won't be an exaggeration, really! believe me :).

    So, I just copy her recipe whenever I make this recipe at home. Sometimes I like to add variations in terms of filling instead of potatoes you can make a spicy paneer filling and stuff the capsicum. Or, you can add some crumbled paneer and boiled peas to potatoes while making the spicy potato filling for stuffed green bell peppers. These generously spiced green bell peppers provide a double dose of flavour plus health. This is also known as Bharwan Shimla mirch as Bharwan is a Hindi word for stuffed. (Bharwan bhindi recipe )

    You can make the recipe in a pan like I made in the recipe video or use convection microwave. You can also bake the stuffed capsicum in a conventional oven or Microwave oven.

    How to Make Stuffed Shimla Mirch in Microwave

    My Mom makes Punjabi stuffed shimla mirch recipe by shallow frying the green bell peppers in hot in oil. For making stuffed Shimla mirch in the microwave, just skip the gram flour/besan layer. For microwave stuffed capsicum simply place these stuffed capsicums in a microwave safe dish and bake in convection mode for 20 minutes.
