Cookd masalas for green capsicum
Method
Cut the capsicum in half and remove the seeds.
Heat oil in a pan and add the capsicum. Toss on high heat for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan.
In the same pan, add the ginger, garlic, and green chilli. Saute lightly and then add the onion and cashew. Saute until translucent.
Add all the powdered spices, salt, and tomato ketchup. Mix well for 2 minutes.
Add paneer, potato, coriander leaves and lemon juice. Mix and remove from the heat.
Fill the capsicum with the stuffing. Press it down tightly.
Grease a pan with oil, and add the stuffed capsicum, stuffing side down. Cook for 2 minutes on low heat.
Flip it carefully, cover and cook for 10-12 minutes on low heat. Move it around occasionally to ensure it does not burn on the bottom. Cook on very low heat only.
Add grated cheese on top of each piece, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Serve this as a starter or a party snack, garnished with coriander leaves and chilli flakes.
