There are many ways to make stuffed capsicum by stuffing it with different filings. Today’s recipe has a filling of boiled and mashed potatoes with some Punjabi spices and then first sautéed on high flame and then cooked on low heat to get the perfect roasted feel.

I like it a bit roasted brown so I sauté it on high heat first. You can skip this if you do not like it roasted.
