Air fried stuffed bell pepper, as the name suggest is bell pepper stuffed with potato masala and cooked in air fryer. Very healthy yet delicious. Also called stuffed capsicum(bharwan simla mirch). 

Bharwan simla mirch is a popular dish in North India typically made by shallow frying the stuffed potatoes.

I love Air frying as it saves a lot of time and reduces overall calorie intake. It is also easy to clean the air fryer!

It tastes great as a side dish with roti, paratha or you can even  eat it as a snack if you like. I have used spicy potato masala as a filling but you can really use any filling of your choice.
