GRILLED PANEER PEPPER RINGS

Paneer stuffed capsicum rings….sounds interesting and taste is also very awesome. I have seen this recipe on Tv channel by Chef Pankaj Bhaduria, so wanted to make from last few days. I have seen potatoes stuffed in capsicum my whole life. But this si something new and I love to try new dishes, so tried yesterday. It was yumm and kids will love it for sure. I must say that it is a dish that will be loved by all, even food naggy kids. The aroma is enticing and you will love to savor it. It can be prepared as a side dish or starter snack on a rainy day. A lovely and colourful combination of paneer and all coloured bell peppers.Paneer capsicum rings is a delicious and easy recipe. You can roast them on non-stick tawa or can be baked in oven. Here I am sharing a tawa method. For my recipe, I made differentflavored fillings with paneer, green chutney, chopped dry fruits, desiccated coconut which gives it an unique flavour. This dish tasted better to me than the other stuffed capsicum. So here is my recipe with step-by-step pics.
