May 30, 2024 12:39 IST

Chef Kunal Kapoor's Bharwa Shimla Mirchi could be served to a nawab, so classy and handsome is the dish.

Stuffed with spicy alu, corn and paneer, the bell peppers are then simmered in a rich red gravy and must be eaten with some buttery naans.

This elegant preparation is very representative of Chef Kapoor's repertoire of celebratory, party-worthy food.
