STUFFED BABY PEPPER PAKORAS

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water for about 15 mins, or until tender, then drain in a colander, tip back into the pan and coarsely crush with a fork.
• Heat a small heavy-bottomed frying pan and toast the fennel seeds for about 30 seconds, stirring all the time, until they release their aroma. Use a pestle and mortar to grind the seeds to a powder.
• Stir the ground fennel seeds, chilli powder, mango powder, ground coriander, green chilli and peppercorns into the crushed potatoes.
• Cut the peppers in half lengthways and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Fill each cavity with some of the spiced potato mixture and set aside.
• Sieve the gram flour and salt into a bowl and stir in just enough cold water to make a smooth batter - aim for the consistency of double cream.
• Heat the oil in a wok or karahi to 180°C, or test the temperature by dropping in a cube of bread - when it browns in 30 seconds, it's ready. Dip the filled pepper halves in the batter, then deep-fry in batches for 3-5 mins until golden. Drain the pakoras on kitchen paper, sprinkle with salt, and serve straightaway with coriander relish.

STUFFED BABY BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the baby bell peppers in a single layer and cook, turning, until the skins blister and start browning, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the onion, poblano, garlic, cumin, oregano, ancho and chipotle chile powders and 1 teaspoons salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the onion and poblano are tender, about 8 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and add the pork. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat; let cool.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Make a slit in each baby bell pepper with a paring knife, cutting from stem to tip. Crumble the meat mixture into small bits, then stir in the cilantro and cheese. Stuff 2-3 teaspoons of the meat mixture into each pepper using your fingers or a small spoon; transfer to a baking sheet (the peppers can be stuffed up to 4 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before baking).
• Bake until the peppers are hot and the cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and serve with lime wedges.
