    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. It is a delicious side dish and complements burrito bowls perfectly. My pepper story is however different. I never wanted to taste it as it was green. Now, 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.

    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.

    Variation & Substitution

    You can also do a stuffing of vegan cheese instead of regular dairy cheese. You can also add besan or chickpea flour with or without potatoes. Dip them in besan and fry it to make mirchi vada or jalepano poppers. Another variation of mirchi bada is mirchi bhajji where we dip jalapenos or sweet capsicums in besan or chickpea flour batter and fry it.

    Use any color pepper to make this recipe. You can also stuff the pepper with peas and chenna/ paneer or ricotta cheese along with potatoes. You may use any cheese you like goat cheese, cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese. Use any seasoning like taco seasoning, Italian herbs, garlic powder and red pepper flakes.
