This is the first time i would be making this and since there are too many options for stuffing, I am not sure what to use - potatoes, rice, cottage cheese, peas.
So someone please share a recipe of stuffed bell peppers.

Also, you could try using cheese or cottage cheese as a stuffing with or without the rest of the ingredients.

Three Onions Chopped fine. 1 TSP each Jeera and Mustard Seeds. Very Finely chopped 5 TBS gram Flour or Besan (The TBS to be heaped).

Heat 1 Tbs Oil and let sputter the Jeera and Mustard seeds. Add the onions and saute in low heat. Cover the pan, so that onions retain the liquid. (The other alternative is lots of oil which is not advisable.)

When Onions become limp, add the besan and in very low heat keep mixing. With a wooden spoon. Stir the mixture continuously, so that the besan cooks uniformly. Cook for about 10 minutes. Keep aside.

Cut capsicums in Halves, and remove the seeds. Fill it with the above stuffing.

Steam slightly in a pressure cooker or bake in an Oven
