Shimla Mirchi Movie

[Mohammed Faerber]

Shimla mirch means bell pepper and you get a lot of that in this quick lamb keema shimla mirch curry. With this recipe you add the lamb keema already cooked. So if you like, you could just fry up some minced (ground) lamb or you could opt for this lamb keema recipe or even add a curry house style lamb keema.

Absolutely not. You could just add more veggies and make this a vegetarian shimla mirch or even add cubes of paneer. You could add the paneer raw or try this fried paneer recipe.

This Punjabi bharwa shimla mirch recipe is how I make this dish at home and is liked by everyone. Sometimes I also add green peas to the potato stuffing. There are many variations of making the stuffing and even with different ingredients like paneer (cottage cheese) or besan (gram flour).

You also have to place the open potato side touching the pan. In the below pic, you will see the various sides getting cooked. The capsicum will get golden and wrinkled. I usually cook the bell peppers thoroughly.

Hi Heer, you can blanch the capsicum first before stuffing and the cook them. Just blanch them for 1 to 2 minutes in hot boiling water and then drain the water. While cooking, you can also sprinkle some water in the pan and cover with lid. This will cause some steaming in the pan which will cook the capsicum. Also cook on low heat so that they do not become brown or get burnt. Turn often for even cooking. I hope this helps.

Hi Dasana, am a big fan of all your recipes. They are delicious.I have a doubt here. Can I make these stuffed capsicums without onions? Or in place of that, do you recommend something?? Thanks for your help. And please keep up the good work!

Oh yes, you can skip onions easily. Sometimes I also skip onions in the potato stuffing. Do add one to two pinches of hing (asafoetida) when chillies are added. Thanks for the feedback and most welcome.

there are several variations to the bharwa shimla mirch recipe and it can prepared as either snack or as a curry. i have not tried the curry recipe personally but i guess it should even taste amazing. basically the bharleli shimla mirch curry would follow the same procedure till stuffing but would be cooked in a onion and tomato based sauce. also adding cheese is optional and if you feel it is heavy, you can completely ignore it. further, the same recipe can also be prepared with green chillies too. in other words, use the same stuffing and stuff it mirchi bajji with besan coating and deep fry it till crisp.

while the recipe of stuffed capsicum is extremely simple, i would like to share few tips and variations to it. firstly, i have used green capsicum in this recipe, however you can also use red and yellow capsicum too. secondly, i have slit the capsicum at the top to make a cavity for stuffing. but you can also vertically slit the capsicum to 2 halves and then stuff it individually. lastly, i have used the tawa to cook the stuffed capsicum with very little oil at the bottom. alternatively, it can also be baked in oven or convection microwave at 180 degree celsius for 40 minutes.

As per the sabzi name, main ingredients are cauliflower and green bell pepper. So basically gobi=cauliflower and shimla mirch=bell pepper or capsicum. Onion-tomato is also added to the dish which adds some texture and taste.

Capsicum (bell pepper or Shimla mirch): Here green bell pepper is used. For the variation, you can add red pepper or yellow pepper or combination of any. The sabzi will looks so colorful and eye catching. I love capsicum, have you tried my capsicum curry recipe?

shimla mirch besan sabji recipe capsicum besan bhaji shimla mirch besan with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and simple dry north indian curry recipe made with chickpea flour and capsicum. the recipe is an ideal day to day curry recipe that can be made within minutes with minimal ingredients available in the kitchen. it is generally made as a side dish for roti or chapathi, but can also be served as a side dish to dal rice combination.

as i explained earlier, besan flour is mainly used as a batter for many different snacks recipes, but it can also be used for different curries. the most common curry made with besan is kadhi pakora or the gatte ke sabji recipe. well, the other not so popular recipe is the capsicum besan bhaji where diced capsicum is tossed with dry spices and gram flour. the besan flour not just helps to bind the spice together, but also it helps to reduce the spice level and to improve the quantity of the dry curry. i personally like it when served as a side dish to different types of rice and curry combination. my personal favourite is the dal rice and rasam rice combination and this recipe act as a dry side dish.

furthermore, i would like to highlight some more tips, suggestions, and variations to shimla mirch besan recipe. firstly, the recipe is typically made with fresh and juicy green capsicums, which helps to form a moist and tasty curry. yet you can also make it with other capsicum variants like red and yellow. secondly, the spices added to this recipe have to be sharp or in other words, more spices have to be added compared to other dry variants. this is due to the fact that besan reduces temperature and hence be generous with spice addition. lastly, do not overcook the capsicum as it has to be tender and juicy. do not end up making it mushy or soggy and make it crisp.

I am edible. I am green. I am yellow. I am red. Sometimes you may find me in orange too! What may this coloured food item be? Capsicum! Capsicum, with the scientific name Capsicum annuum, is a member of the Solanaceae family. Capsicums are known as bell peppers in America, shimla mirch in India, and peppers in the United Kingdom. Capsicums originated from northern Latin America and Mexico and are available in various colours ranging from green, red, yellow and orange. These varieties are not only delicious when eaten as a topping on a pizza or cooked as a veggie, but they are also very healthy. Let us find some interesting benefits of this vegetable.1

Capsicum (Shimla Mirch) contains various nutritional components that are given in the table below. It is rich in a variety of phytochemicals like vitamins, anthocyanins, flavonoids, phenolic acid, capsaicinoids and carotenoids.

Based on my observations, the application of intranasal capsaicin might help reduce nasal problems. In a study, people who received capsaicin experienced a possible decrease in nasal symptoms, such as runny nose and nasal blockage. They also showed improvement in sensitivity to cold dry air, which lasted for up to 9 months after the treatment. Thus, intranasal capsaicin might be safe and effective in reducing nasal symptoms.

Dyslipidemia is characterised by a reduction in good cholesterol or high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and an increase in low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol and triglycerides. Studies have shown that red capsicum and one of its important constituents, capsaicin, may potentially control the altered parameters in dyslipidemia. Zafar et al. conducted a study in 2012 on male rats to assess the effect of an aqueous extract of red pepper on the lipid profile. Rats that were administered an aqueous extract of red pepper (200mg/kg) showed a reduction in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides and an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL). This may indicate that the consumption of capsicum may help in managing dyslipidemia. However, more studies on humans are needed to support these claims.3

Capsicum contains phytochemicals like capsaicin and capsiate (capsaicin analogue), which may exhibit a hypoglycaemic effect (reduction in blood glucose). Sanati et al. conducted a study in 2017 to assess the effect of capsaicin on blood glucose in rats with Type-I DM. The rats were administered 6mg/kg capsaicin and capsiate for 28 days. The study results showed that capsaicin and capsiate might help reduce blood glucose. This may indicate that the consumption of capsicum may help manage blood glucose. However, more studies are needed to confirm these results in humans.4

Capsicum has a high amount of capsaicinoids, which may help improve metabolism. Capsaicinoids are known to stimulate vasodilatation (increased blood flow) which increases thermogenesis (heat production). An increase in thermogenesis increases the rate of metabolism. This may indicate that the consumption of capsicum may help in improving metabolism. However, more studies are needed to support these claims.5
