INDIAN STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in a saucepan of simmering water for 15 minutes, or until tender, then drain and cut into small cubes.
• Bring a large pan of water to a boil and add peppers and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain and run cold water over peppers. Cut around the stems and remove stems and seeds. Drain well upside down on paper towel.
• Heat oil in a small frying pan and cook onions over medium heat until soft but not browned. Add coriander, cumin, turmeric and chili powder and mix thoroughly. Mix in the potatoes and season with salt, to taste. Fill each pepper with equal amounts of mixture.
• To make the sauce, combine all of the sauce ingredients (except salt) in a deep, heavy-bottomed frying pan and bring slowly to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and cardamom pods. Season sauce with salt, to taste.
• Add stuffed peppers to the pan, arranging them so that they stand upright in a single layer, and cook 5-10 minutes, or until sauce is thick and peppers are heated through. Serve peppers with sauce spooned over the tops.

CLASSIC CHILI RELLENOS WITH ANAHEIM PEPPERS

Steps:

• To roast chilies:.
• Place chile peppers on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.
• Broil 5 inches from the heat (with electric oven door partially open) 5 minutes on each side or until chile peppers are blistered.
• Place chile peppers in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal.
• Let stand 10 minutes to loosen skins.
• Peel peppers, leaving stems attached.
• Make a slit in the side of each chile, remove seeds, and stuff with cheese sticks.
• Dredge chiles with flour. Beat egg whites until they become stiff and peaks form. Beat yolks with water, 3 tablespoons flour and salt until thick and creamy. Fold the yolks into the whites and dip the chiles in the mixture.
• Fry in 2-3 inches of oil until they become golden brown.(I usually use about an inch and turn them over).
• Serve with your favorite salsa, refried beans and yellow rice for a great south of the border meal!

INDIAN STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 430F.
• Slice off the tops of the green peppers and remove seeds.
• Slice off thinly from the bottom so that the peppers stand steady when placed on a baking tray.
• Mix potatoes, paneer, cashewnuts, raisins, amchur, cayenne, cumin, garam masala, cilantro and salt. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a pan and add onion. Cook till translucent and add ginger and green chillies.
• Mix in potato mixture and continue to cook for two minutes.
• Divide this mixture evenly into four portions and stuff the green peppers with the mixture.
• Sprinkle cheese on top and place on baking tray.
• Bake for fifteen minutes.
• Serve immediately.

INDIAN STUFFED ANAHEIM CHILE PEPPERS

Steps:

• Make a lengthwise slit in the peppers and remove the seeds.
• In a bowl, mix together crushed peanuts, salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder, dry mango powder and red chili powder.
• Generously fill peppers with the peanut mixture.
• Lightly coat outside of peppers with a little oil (using pastry brush or hands).
• Place peppers in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 3 minutes. Check the peppers and turn if necessary. Microwave for additional 2 minutes (or more as necessary - peppers should wilt a little but still hold their shape).
• Heat little oil in a flat skillet. Place peppers on the skillet to brown them. Flip the peppers and brown other side also. Some peanuts may spill out - it's ok.
• Remove from skillet and serve hot or at room temperature.
• Tip: Buy similar size peppers so they cook evenly.
