Stuffed sweet peppers

Ingredients:
8-10 small sweet peppers
2 medium-sized potatoes
1 small packet frozen mixed vegetables
1 medium size onion
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp red chili powder or garam masala powder
1 tsp sambar powder
2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
Salt to taste

Method:
Boil the potatoes, nicely mash and keep aside.
In a deep pan, add oil, mustard seeds, cumin and turmeric powder. When the mustard seeds pop, add the onions and sauté for a while. Then add the frozen mixed vegetables, salt, sambar powder and red chili powder (or garam masala powder) and sauté for a while until the vegetables are tender.
Now add the mash potatoes and sauté for a while until the vegetables mix well, then sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top.
Let the mixture cool down. Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds. Stuff the peppers with the vegetable mix and shallow fry in a pan or bake in the oven with little oil.
Serve as an appetizer or as side dish to a meal.
