The garden is overflowing with bell peppers and jalapenos that we planted to make salsa with. The only problem is that the tomatoes are not ripening at the same pace. Added to it, I recently bought a big box of feta cheese that had to be used up. Everything was put together and these beauties were born. Since the stores only carry the gigantic peppers, the small ones from the garden were perfect for this recipe. Potatoes and spinach make a wonderful combo and feta adds a nice salty touch. I normally let the peppers cook fully in the oven and do not parboil them. But, this is not the season where I want the oven to be on and hence I parboiled them for a few minutes. It made a huge world of difference and the peppers were done in no time. My initial plan was to make a rich Indian gravy with cashews and so on, but being pressed for time I went with the simple, but flavorful tomato gravy.

To make it even simpler, I used store bought sauce. The peppers were bursting with flavor from the filling and the sauce and even my kiddo loved it. I say it because he normally claims he does not like peppers. Off to the recipe.

My Notes
1. You can use paneer instead of feta cheese.
2. Follow this link to make ginger-garlic paste.
3. Follow this link to make paneer at home.
