These Indian-Style Stuffed Bell Peppers feature a smoky roasted pepper shell packed with a spiced potato filling, bursting with flavors of cumin, turmeric, and chili. Finished under the broiler for a golden top, they’re a hearty vegetarian dish that pairs beautifully with naan or rice.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Peppers:

  • 4 large green bell peppers (or any color)
  • 2 tbsp oil

For the Filling:

  • 3 medium potatoes, boiled & mashed
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 green chilies, chopped
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp coriander powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peppers: Cut the tops off bell peppers and remove seeds. Rub lightly with oil and set aside.
  2. Make the Filling: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, then onions, green chilies, and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until golden. Add turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well. Stir in mashed potatoes and cook for 3–4 minutes. Finish with lemon juice and cilantro.
  3. Stuff the Peppers: Fill each bell pepper with the potato mixture, pressing it down firmly.
  4. Cook the Peppers: Roast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until the peppers are tender. For a charred top, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with naan or basmati rice.
