Stuffed Pepper Rings

Stuffed Pepper Rings is a delicious recipe of green pepper rings stuffed with Indian spiced potato filling and cooked until crispy.

I love stuffed peppers but always wished that I could make them quicker! This is my 10-minute recipe for those moments when you crave something comforting yet quick. These easy and quick to make Stuffed Pepper Rings can be flavoured in a variety of ways.

Growing up my mother prepared stuffed peppers often using a variety of fillings. I feel like traditional oven baked Stuffed Peppers take forever to make, so instead, years ago I decided to simply cut peppers into rings and then stuff them with different fillings and this recipe is always a hit. I feel the portion size is also good and everyone can enjoy a ring or two.

Ingredients

1 green pepper
Oil for greasing

For The Filling
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup boiled mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves
1 teaspoon red chilli powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon chaat masala
1 teaspoon garam masala

Directions

Step-1

Cut peppers into rings (between ¼ and ⅛ inch thick), carefully remove any attached stems and seeds and set aside.

Step-2

In a bowl, add the onions, potatoes, coriander leaves, red chilli powder, cumin powder, salt, chaat masala and garam masala. Mix them all together until well combined. Taste to adjust the seasoning.

Step-3

Stuff the prepared filling into each ring, pressing down firmly, completely filling the ring.

Step-4

Heat a pan and lightly grease it with oil. Place the stuffed green pepper rings and brush them with some oil. Cook both sides for 2-3 minutes on medium heat. This helps in giving a lovely crispy texture to the potato filling and also slightly cooking the peppers.
Enjoy!
