    Recipe



    Cut the tops off the pepper and pull out the central core from
    each, keeping the shells intact. Shake out any remaining seeds. Cut a
    thin slice off the base of the peppers, if necessary, to make them
    stand upright.

    Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the
    peppers and cook for 5-6 minutes. Lift out and drain them upside down
    in a colander.

    Bring the water in the pan back to the boil, add the potatoes and
    cook for 10-12 minutes, until just tender. Drain thoroughly, put on
    one side to cool, then cut into 1/2 inch dice.

    Put the green chillies, onion, garlic and ginger in a food
    processor or blender with 4 tb of the water and process to a puree.
    Preheat the oven to 375F degrees.

    Heat 3 tb of the oil in a large deep frying pan and cool the
    eggplant, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove
    from the pan and set aside. Add another 2 tb of the oil to the pan
    and saute the potatoes until lightly browned.Remove from the pan and
    set aside.

    If necessary, add another 1 tb oil to the pan, then add the cumin
    and kalonji seeds. Fry briefly until the seeds darken, then add the
    turmeric, coriander and ground cumin. Cook for 15 seconds. Stir in the
    chilli puree and fry, scraping the pan with a spatula, until the
    mixture begins to brown. Do not let it burn.

    Return the potatoes and eggplant to the pan, and season with salt,
    pepper and 2 pinches cayenne. Pour in the remaining measured water
    and 1 tb lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until the liquid evaporates.

    Place the peppers on a baking tray and fill with the potato
    mixture. Brush the pepper skins with a little oil and bake for 30-35
    minutes, until cooked. Allow to cool a little, then sprinkle with a
    little more lemon juice, garnish with the coriander and serve.
