Stuffed Peppers 7 With Paneer Cheese
Stuffed Peppers 7 With Paneer Cheese
Mamta Gupta
Green peppers, also known as capsicum or bell peppers are a tasty addition to any meal. In this easy recipe, I have stuffed them with grated paneer, because I had a block of paneer, but you can use mashed paneer, if you have fresh, home made paneer. If you are making it hot for yourself, but also have people who do not eat chillies, make a few different coloured ones for them without chillies. Here I have used finger peppers. If you have large peppers, you can stuff halved peppers. This makes them easier to serve.
