Stuffed peppers is a universally made dish and loved by all. Different countries use different stuffings to make the stuffed peppers. You can stuff rice, cooked rajma or chickpea, quinoa to millets, the variations are innumerable.Cooking is all about creativity and experimentation. So, I decided to make my version of Stuffed peppers with Paneer Burji, This is a protein packed. low carb and a delicious recipe which I consume without having to worry about my weight gain. Let's look into the preparations. I have used Red and yellow peppers as they have a mild sweet taste compared to Green ones which are slightly bitter. You can even use green peppers, but make sure you cook them completely to avoid the bitter taste.
