Stuffed peppers have always been my favorite. Mummy used to stuff peppers with boiled potatoes and spices, and then grill or pan fry them. It was such a delicious appetizer or a side dish with simple dal and rice. While in the US these colorful peppers are so appealing and delicious. Mummy would always buy a bag from Sprouts market an create a stuffing of potatoes and then pan fry them. You might have seen some pictures on my Facebook page.

So while my mom enjoys it stuffed with boiled potatoes and spices, Snehanshu likes it with paneer or cheese. Almost 2 years back, if you remember, I had created finger food for a campaign party for our friend who was running for Santa Clara elections. It was cream cheese over crackers: Cream cheese whipped with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and finely chopped onion greens. It was topped with a slice of olive and few chopped onion green. Everyone loved it!!

So while it was made in bulk, I had some of this cream cheese mixture remaining. So yes, I did use it to stuff the peppers. This time it was cream cheese with Indian Amul cheese.

Here are the pictures of cream cheese over crackers.
