    Peppers or capsicums as we call them in Australia, are a family favorite. Peppers stuffed with spicy potato masala gives you a great side which can be eaten with roti. Traditionally this dry sabzi is quite famous in and around Rajasthan. Hence, it is very close to my MILs heart. She was the happiest when I made this for the first time in our kitchen. However, there is another recipe which is a family favorite. Air fryer mini peppers stuffed with cheese and potatoes.

    My bubba loves mini capsicums or mini peppers from market. Always insisting we buy them from Costco or farmer's market. Hence, I keep trying to use them in different recipes. They look colorful, are slightly sweet and perfect to eat raw. You can add them to pilafs, curries too. They bring life to pastas and look great as pizza toppings. Find out how to make this easy stuffed mini capsicum recipe.

    My pepper story

    Sometimes we tend to laugh over our ideas and inhibition. Eating capsicum or pepper. was one of mine. It is one of my favorite veggies now. I always laugh over it as I saw my kid love it. After all, kids learn from observation. How can I ask my bub to eat it, if I myself don't? This has only led to me widening my food profile whether its tofu or mushrooms, broccoli or chia seeds.

    How can you add peppers to your diet?

    Bell peppers are quite versatile. Eat them raw in salads, they are awesome in roasted vegetables. Chilli paneer, veg manchurian and tofu manchurian are incomplete without them. Cook them in curry, add it to fried rice or hakka noodles or as a pulao. I love having it in hummus, vegan pasta ,veg pizza and of course keto paneer tikka and pav bhaji . Did you ever have any inhibitions too? Have you grown over it? Do share why and how you did it?
