Instructions

Wash the capsicums, pat them dry with kitchen towel. Slice off the top part of the capsicums and remove the seeds from inside, make them hollow. Brush the outer skin of the capsicums with vegetable oil. Keep aside.
Heat 2 tsp oil in a frying pan (nonstick preferably). Add chopped onions, sauté on medium flame until translucent. Now add crushed paneer, mashed potatoes and peas along with all the other ingredients.
Mix well and stir fry on medium flame until a dry mixture forms (approximately for 10 mins). Remove from heat.
Fill the capsicum shells evenly with this mixture, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
Preheat the oven to 200 C. Grease a baking tray with oil (or you can line the tray with aluminium foil or baking paper), arrange the stuffed capsicums on it.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the outer skin of the capsicums turn wrinkled. Serve immediately as starter or side dish.
