Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 200 grams paneer, crumbled
  • 150 grams mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the corn kernels and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the crumbled paneer, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture is well combined and heated through.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. Stuff each bell pepper with the paneer and mozzarella mixture, pressing down lightly to pack it in.
  7. Place the stuffed bell peppers in a baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley before serving.
