Typically, in India stuffed capsicum recipe involves mainly potato-based filling. However, in this stuffed capsicum recipe, I’ve tried to incorporate a unique Indo-Mexican flavour in the filling. Therefore, we have classic Mexican ingredients like tomatoes, sweet corn, kidney beans, chilli along with potato and paneer.
