Stuffed Mince Peppers | Mince Stuffed Peppers || How to Make Stuffed Peppers with step-by-step photos
Stuffed minced peppers are one of the most delicious and spicy curries- long green peppers stuffed with roasted keema and cooked in flavoured
gravy to make it juicier and lip-smacking_ These stuffed green chillies make the perfect appetizer or
a side dish.
Trust me, if you try it out once at home, your family members
won’t live without praising this curry.
Long green chillies are much milder than the smaller bird’s eye chillies used in much of Pakistani cooking. They are mildly spicy but not numbingly so.
If you still want to reduce the heat, remove the seeds. That is where most
of the heat is. If there is one Pakistani street food recipe you need to try, this is
it!
In my previous post, I also shared a stuffed
cheese chilli fritter
recipe. I use minced beef, but you can use any chicken, lamb or mutton as well. The version of this stuffed pepper is a bit similar to stuffed
keema karela_the only difference of the spices the rest of the cooking method is
the same

completely.
