Bharwa Shimla Mirch

Bharwa Shimla Mirch, also known as Stuffed Capsicum, is a comforting veg Ghar ka Khaana dish made with shallow-fried green bell peppers filled with a flavourful potato masala. The filling typically includes mashed potatoes seasoned with cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and sometimes a hint of amchur or chaat masala for tang. The capsicums are lightly cooked so they retain their shape and gentle crunch, while the inside stays soft, spicy, and aromatic. This dish is loved for its beautiful balance of textures—crispy outer capsicum, soft spiced filling—and its ability to pair well with roti, paratha, or dal–rice.
