Kheema Stuffed Capsicum/Mince Stuffed Capsicum

Kheema stuffed/Mince stuffed Capsicum is our family favourite dish ..We love these stuffed kheema /mince Capsicums and often make them on Weekends ..They are easy to make and taste amazing . You can also use bellpeppers to stuff them ..Small capsicum works perfect for stuffing but you can always cut the bigger ones into half and stuff mince in them ...I have shared a Baked Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Capsicum/Bell peppers  in the blog earlier  they were tried and teested by many and was meaning to try this humble simple yet yummy version of Kheema/Mince Stuffed Capsicum since so long but somehow it always skipped . 

These Stuffed Capsicum can be served as appetizers or as an side dish ..You can add grated cheese and bake these too instead of coating it with eggs and shallow frying ,tastes great either ways ..
