Paneer Stuffed Chili Pepper

This week I got some fresh Anaheim Peppers (i think) at my grocery store. So I decided to make something with them. Options were to stuff these pepper or to bread and fry them. I choose to stuff them. These peppers are tricky, you never know if they are spicy or mild. So the best solution is to stuff them with cheese or something that is mild. I choose Paneer. (Indian cottage cheese).

Stuffing
Grated Paneer
Chopped onion
Oil (for stuffing as well as sauteing the peppers
Coriander seeds, Turmeric, Curry leaves
Garam masala
Salt to taste

Heat 1tbsp oil in a pan and add coriander seeds, turmeric and curry leaves.
Add the onion and saute it till it becomes translucent
Add the grated paneer, garam masala and salt according to taste
Mix and voila, the stuffing is done.

Now REMOVE ALL MEMBRANE AND SEEDS from the peppers. This will reduce the heat from the peppers and make it edible.
Stuff the peppers with the paneer stuffing. Heat oil in a pan, place the peppers in it and saute it till the peppers are cooked and soft.
You can even bake it in a oven. Done! You can eat it as it is or with some bread or roti.
Enjoy!
