What makes this dish special
Capsicum rings are a simple yet flavorful dish that can be prepared quickly. This recipe features a savory potato filling stuffed into crisp capsicum rings, creating a delightful combination of textures and tastes. The potato filling is seasoned with a blend of spices, including salt, red chili powder, dry mango powder, and coriander powder, along with chopped onion, coriander, grated ginger, and green chilies. The capsicum rings are shallow-fried until golden brown, resulting in a satisfying crunch. This dish is perfect as an evening snack or as a side dish with dal, paratha, or roti. The use of boiled potatoes ensures that the dish doesn't absorb too much oil during frying, making it a healthier option.
Recipe
Ingredients: * 1 large green capsicum, deseeded and cut into thin rounds * 4 medium to large potatoes, boiled, peeled, and mashed * 1 medium onion, finely chopped * 1/4 inch ginger, grated * 2 tsp coriander, finely chopped * 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped * Salt to taste * 1 tsp red chili powder * 1 tsp dry mango powder * 1 tsp coriander powder * 2 Tbsp oil for shallow frying * Coriander for garnishing, finely chopped

Cooking Tip: Grease your palms with oil before stuffing the capsicum rings to prevent the potato mixture from sticking to your hands.
Architecture Tip
"When giving a house railing, we normally prefer to give wood because wood gives us warmth. If we use metallic or glass railings, it becomes a little informal. If it's an office building or a commercial complex, glass, steel, and metal railings are fine. But in the house, we normally advise to use wood."
