Stuffed capsicum rings are made by filling thick rings of bell peppers with a special spiced mixture. The stuffing is usually potato based. Other veggies generally added include onion, corn, chillies, coriander, parsley, etc. To keep things simple, the recipe below uses only a few of these. You can use classic Indian spices like cumin, turmeric, garam masala, etc. to flavour the filling. However, we have gone a different way and used mixed herbs to make a unique snack. We have also added cheese to make it extra indulgent.

_{You need to slice and de-seed the bell peppers before stuffing them.} 

Wash capsicums and cut them in half. Remove the seeds and slice them into thick rings. Allow the rings to dry on absorbent paper. Next, start preparing the filling. Boil potatoes and mash them thoroughly. Mix them with boiled corn, grated cheese, green chillies, parsley, chilli flakes and selected herbs. Add corn flour, salt and butter. Mix well.

Stuff the mixture inside the rings and gently press them into breadcrumbs on both sides. Refrigerate the stuffed rings for around 5-10 minutes, so that they become firmer. Pan-fry the rings in olive oil until golden brown on both sides. Pair with ketchup or chilli sauce.

Tips To Remember While Making Stuffed Capsicum Rings:

_{You can use any colour of capsicum, but the green ones are preferable for this filling.}

• Choose small, firm capsicums only. If they are too big, it will be difficult to keep the stuffing intact.
• You can use any type of bell pepper, but the green ones would taste best (for this recipe).
• Ensure that your filling is more or less dry before stuffing them into the rings. This is why we have added cornflour to the potato mixture.
• The breadcrumbs are optional, but they can help prevent the rings from sticking to the pan. Since they are delicate snacks, one has to be extra careful while handling them.
