Stuffed capsicum
Baking or grilling has always been my preferred mode of cooking since we can churn out the best foods with minimum oil . This variation of "Stuffed Capsicum" which I am sharing here today is the grilled version , but, it can also be done by deep frying .

With a very sharp knife make a cut around the stock of the capsicum |
 |
Pierce it out delicately taking care not to cut the body of the capsicum |
 |
This is how it has to be taken out |
 |
With the help or finger or back of a spoon , scoop out the seeds and any pulp inside the capsicum |

 |
Brush lightly with oil and grill at 250 degree centigrade in a pre-heated oven till the capsicums leave out water and look cooked ( approximately for 20 minutes ) . |

They should look like this once out of the oven. |
