Baked Bharwan Mirch | Aloo Bharwan Mirch | Stuffed Chilli Peppers

“Aloo Bharwan Mirch” is my MIL’s recipe. My mother in law makes a variety of condiments to accompany any dull meal and this recipe is one of them. Even when you not in a mood to cook something lavish or time taking, you can just have these in refrigerator and have it with plain parathas. They just taste awesome with any stuffed paratha too or when you just have cooked dal and roti for a meal. It can be packed into lunch boxes too. Traditionally, these bharwan mirch are made by frying, but we all want a healthier version, so that’s right, I have baked them. It only cuts down the oil in the recipe and believe me, not the taste.

The dal recipe is itself very authentic in flavours and texture and I make it in bulk to once have with rice and the other time to have it with baati and churma. Such a satiating meal !!!
