NOTES: *You can use only capsicum too if not available all coloured bell peppers. I have all coloured peppers in my fridge so used them to make the mixture more colourful.

             *You can also add deseeded tomato cubes in it.

             *You can make them on the tawa on gas stove. Just toast them from one side with butter on tawa, but don’t flip them. Cook them till the cheese get melted. But here you will miss the browning of cheese but it will still taste good.

            *You can used any cheese for this recipe, cheddar or mozzarella. Use less spicy green chilli.
