BAKED CHEESY CAPSICUM


This is an excellent recipe with red capsicum/

peppers.Good to be served as starters.

The bright red colour attracts you ,even if you

are not a vegetable lover.

Considering the health benefits, and the rich

nutrients it contains ,I try adding into salads ,

chutneys ,rice ……..Red capsicum when

compared to the green has more benefits

and taste,so do try red capsicum often .( do I

sound like a brand ambassador for red

capsicum?🤣)

To the recipe now

Red capsicum cut into 2 ,and stalks cut off .

150 -200 gm grated paneer ( cottage cheese)
