Stuffed capsicum makes for a great starter or can even be paired with rotis or rice. Making this non-vegetarian, stir-fried recipe is easy enough. Firstly, you need to take heated oil in a pressure cooker and fry onions until they are brown. Next, you need to add turmeric powder, ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder, salt, and minced meat, and fry them for a good few minutes. Next, you need to add desiccated coconut, cover the cooker and let it blow 3 whistles until cooked.

After the pressure releases, you need to add garam masala and cook until the minced meat is dry enough and there is no water left in the mixture. Next, cool the mixture and blend it into a coarse mixture. Next, the capsicums need to be slit and stuffed with the minced meat mixture. Keep the rest of the minced meat mixture aside.

Next, add 4-5 tbsp. oil in a large pan and shallow fry the capsicums until they become tender. Then, add the minced meat mixture that has been kept aside and stir the entire thing, while making sure that you don’t split the peppers. Serve hot!
