Heat a spoon of oil in kadai. Add mustard seeds, fennel seeds and allow it to splutter. Add finely chopped ginger-garlic and fry for few minutes till the raw smell leaves. Add onions and fry till golden brown.
Add finely chopped carrots, beans and the cut out parts of the capsicum (finely chopped) and fry till they soften.
Add chopped tomato and fry till it softens.
Add roughly mashed peas and mix well. Add in turmeric and fry for a few seconds. Add enough salt and remove from heat.
Once the filling cools down with the help of a spoon stuff this into the seasoned capsicum and press well so they remain intact for frying.
Heat a spoon of butter in a pan and shallow fry the capsicum till golden brown turning now and ensure to cook all sides and serve hot.
