Ingredients

  • 250g capsicum
  • 2-3 onions, thinly sliced or chopped
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 sachet Knorr Maldive Fish Powder Mix

  • 2 tablespoons curry powder

METHOD

  • In a bowl add onion, Knorr Maldive Fish Powder Mix, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric and 1 teaspoon of chilli powder. Mix well.
  • In a pan, melt a tablespoon of Astra. Add garlic and the onion mixture and sauté for a few minutes. Take off from heat and let it cool.
  • Wash and clean capsicum. Pat dry. Make a small slit about 1 inch - 1½ inches long (making sure not to damage the capsicum) and fill it with the onion mixture. To prevent the filling from oozing out of the capsicum, secure it with stems of curry leaves or toothpicks. Set aside.
  • In a pan, melt Astra and add the stick of cinnamon, rampe, 2-3 curry leaves and sauté for a few minutes. Add stuffed capsicum, remaining curry powder, turmeric, chilli powder and coconut milk. Simmer till capsicums are cooked and coated with gravy. Season to taste.
