❤️ 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.
👩🍳 How To Make Mini Sweet Peppers Sabzi?
1) Prepare the peppers. Wash them really well, remove stems and cut them into rings. While chopping, you can shake off most of the seeds.

Hi Kanan,
I once tried a bell pepper sabzi at a relative’s place and she added besan to peppers. It tasted superb! As we call it in gujarati, ‘lot wadu shaak’. I did ask for recipe and tried it out but couldnt do a good job..:-(. All I know is when the peppers are cooked and after everything is ready, you have to add besan paste (besan+water) to the dish and stir it immediately to avoid lumps. Within a minute or two, it will thicken and its done.
I would like to request you to post some recipes with besan/lot added to methi, bell peppers etc if possible.
Thanks!
Yes my mother-in-law makes different sabzi with besan. I will learn from her and will share it here. She usually makes methi nu lot wadu shaak
