Kheema – Stuffed – Peppers, Capsicum

Stuffed vegetables is a very commom mom dish! Right? I mean almost all of us that that one stuffed dish our mom made that we all rave about? My mom often made stuffed bell peppers or stuffed zucchini, corgettes, mushrooms, long bean (parval) etc.

Mince beef was the most common filling but sometimes she’d use prawns and sometimes ground chicken too!

Ingredients and substitutes

  • Meat – I like to use ground beef or ground lamb. In fact, often I will use a mixture of both beef and lamb.
  • Fresh veggies – I like to use a red onions because adds a nice sweetness to the meat. Make sure to chop the garlic and ginger very finely or better yet, grind it into a paste.
  • Spices – most of the spices used are easy to find and probably already in your pantry.
  • Capsicum – choose small size bell peppers because they look more presentable when served on the table. Also, look for firm one without any bruises.
