If you wish you can fry the stuffed capsicum as well,for that process go to skip this step and go to step 2.
Tip: keep turning the capsicum to ensure it cooks well on all sides.
Step 2 is to make the stuffing, in a pan take sesame , dry coconut and green chillies and dry fry. Sesame is the base , please take this in max quantity, dry coconut 5-6 small pieces, 8-9 green chillies and salt (can add more based on your mirchi level) Switch off the stove; once the mixture is cool grind this.
Step 3 is to stuff the mixture in the capsicum and add this back to the pan and cook for 2-3 min. That is it your lip smacking Sesame capsicum is ready! Serve this with steamed rice, sit back and enjoy the compliments!
