Ingredients4-5 small capsicum (bell peppers)
2 large onions
1 tablespoon freshly ground garlic
1 tablespoon freshly ground ginger
1 small tomato
4 tablespoons oil
1/2 tablespoon turmeric powder
1 tablespoon coriander powder
1/2 tablespoon cumin powder

Method- Peel the onions and coarsely grind them in an electric grinder. Keep aside.
- Grind the tomato into a smooth paste and keep aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a non-stick pan. Add the onion, garlic and ginger paste. Cook on medium heat while stirring frequently. Cook till the paste turns golden brown in colour.
- Add the tomato paste, salt, turmeric, amchur, red-chilli, coriander and cumin powder. Mix well and saute till the moisture gets evaporated and oil starts separating from the masala. Keep aside and let it cool.
- Cut the top of each capsicum and scrape out the seeds with the help of a knife. Do not throw the tops, save them to be used later.
- Stuff each capsicum with the prepared onion masala (stuffing). Place the top of each capsicum over it and seal it by inserting a toothpick into it.
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan and place the stuffed peppers/capsicum in it. Cover the pan and cook on medium heat. Keep turning them over and cook till they are evenly cooked from all sides.
