Bharwan Shimla Mirch
Stuffed Bell Peppers (Keto Filling)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the stuffing is made without potatoes, peas, or other high-carb vegetables. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Indian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Large bell peppers (capsicums) hollowed out and stuffed with a savory, spiced filling. For a keto version, the traditional potato or pea filling is replaced with a rich mixture of paneer (Indian cheese), finely chopped nuts, select vegetables (e.g., cauliflower florets, spinach), and aromatic spices, then baked or pan-fried.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers, paneer, almond flour/chopped nuts, cauliflower/spinach (optional), onions (minimal), ginger, garlic, green chilies, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, ghee/oil, salt.
