Recipe Variants
Bharwan Shimla Mirch is usually made with a stuffing of boiled mashed potatoes, masala and fresh herbs, but you can stuff it with any ingredients of your choice ranging from rice to cheese. It is usually served as a starter, but its gravy versions are also very popular - where the stuffed Shimla Mirch is cooked in tomato masala. While you can make a ‘bharwan’ recipe with several other veggies like scooped out potatoes and mushrooms, the hollow cavity in capsicums will always make it the best bet!
