Stuffed Pepper Saak
"One dish I absolutely love when eating traditional Indian Gujarati Food. This dish is great for spice and non-spicy lovers, so don't be alarmed! The stuffing itself is delicious enough to be used in banana, poblano, yellow, or jalapeno peppers. It is normally made with peanuts, but this variation is made using almonds instead. Enjoy it with my Zucchini Rotli or Carrot Rotli recipes.

Ingredients
- 8 peppers
- 2/5 cup almond flour (or blended peanuts)
- 3 tablespoon chick pea flour
- 3 tablespoon dry coriander powder
- 3 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon cumin powder
- salt
- red chili powder (optional)

Cut a slit into each pepper and gently pull open to widen.
-
Mix almond flour, chick pea flour, dry coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, oil, hing, and red chili powder (depending on spice level).
-
Add water to the non-stick pan, place the stuffed peppers in it, and cover with a lid. THEN place the pan on medium low heat.
-
SIDE NOTE: I highly recommend medium/low heat, adding water in the pan, and a lid during the cooking process. Reason-this dish can cause some alarming to the nasal passage. Hence, why I do not use oil to stir fry this dish but you are more than welcome to.
-
Cook for about 10 minutes turning the peppers 2-3 times using tongs.
-
Serve or refrigerate up to 3 days.
