Notes
Variations In Stuffing:
You can skip adding capsicum and just use broccoli.
You can add grated carrot instead of bell pepper.
You can add some grated or crumbled paneer at the end.
If you have less quantity of broccoli and want to use that up, add some mashed potatoes to increase the quantity.
You can add a tablespoon of minced garlic while sauteing onions to get some garlicky flavor.
