Stuffed Capsicum Fry

Hi All,

For a change, I am posting a vegetarian recipe which is simple yet special.I made this today as I was sitting alone at home and wanted to make something that is quick to prepare and yet tasty.Stuffed capsicum is something which I have been fond of from my childhood.I know many people prefer baking the stuffed capsicums but I prefer frying it on a non stick pan.The raw fried taste of capsicum with potato stuffing tastes really good and is light on palette as well.So do try my version of stuffed Capsicum Fry!
