stuffed capsicum

Yesterday I went to this Indian grocery shop and they had these lovely small capsicums ( not the usual big ones ) and I remembered how my mum used to make stuffed curry from them. I tried it and it turned out really good and Bunty who doesnt like capsicum at all, gobbled it up.
I used
6 small capsicums and took the stem out.
Boiled two medium sized potatoes, mashed them and added 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp chilli powder, 1/4 tsp garam masala, 1/2 lemon juice, salt to taste, coriander powder and kept aside.
then stuffed this mixture in the capsicums.
Heat a pan, add 1 tbsp cooking oil, 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp salt. Once they splutter, add the above prepared capsicums, cover it and let it cook on medium heat.


Turn them over from time to time so that they get cooked from all sides. cook untill the skin changes colour and looks soft. take it out in a serving dish and I served it with roti and daal for dinner.

I make similar one with tomatoes. Stuffed tomatoes. I guess a dish with few stuffed tomatoes and stuffed bell peppers would be great!
