❤️ About This Indian Sweet Peppers Recipe
These cute-looking sweet peppers are not hot or spicy at all. They are sweeter than normal colored peppers.
I have never bought or cooked this vegetable before until my one of friends gave me a bag of these cuties. After trying this recipe, I will include sweet mini peppers in my grocery shopping once in a while.
When she gave me a bag of peppers, I was confused that how am I going to use it. First I thought I will use it in a salad, but no one at home is fond of salads. Then I searched on google, I found Indira's Recipe (her blog is not found on the internet anymore). I made a few changes as per our taste buds and the end result was just fabulous.

Lesser chili would keep the sweetness of these mini peppers. It is a good recipe but unnecessarily hot!
Kanan Patel
Sure. one can adjust the chilies as per liking.
