Capsicum stuffed in gravy

About:
Capsicum helps in curing many diseases that include lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol and warding off strokes and heart attacks, speeding up metabolism, treating colds and fever, preventing cancer and pain control.
Capsicum is low in fat, calories and cholesterol. If you thought your diabetic diet was supposed to be boring, try spicing up your cuisine with capsaicin based products-like hot sauce or jalapeno peppers.
I have stuffed with potatoes; you can stuff with any vegetable, tofu, paneer, brown rice and create a delicious healthy meal option.
You can enjoy these stuffed toasted peppers as it is or dip it in the gravy and enjoy as a side dish.
