Yes, it's just upma stuffed in green bell pepper (capsicum). As simple as it sounds. I saw this recipe in a tamil magazine.

A very easy recipe to prepare bell pepper stuffed with upma.
Ingredients:
- As Needed Any Upma (Semolina, Vermicelli, Cracked Wheat)
- As Needed Green Bell Pepper (Depending Upon The Quantity Of Upma)
Procedure:
- Wash the bell pepper and cut off the tops carefully, because you need it to close the pepper and cook.
- Now remove the seeds inside the pepper and those sticking to the stalk.
- Fill the upma inside the pepper and close it back with the top.
- Add some water in a frying pan and let it get hot.
- Now keep an idli plate inside and arrange the peppers on the plate, close the frying pan with a lid and let it cook for 8-10 minutes.
- Turn off the stove and let it cool completely before you cut it lengthwise and drizzle some chutney all over and serve.
My Notes:
- In the original recipe, the method mentioned for cooking the bell pepper was to add 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan, arrange the bell peppers in it and sprinkle some salt water on top of the peppers and to cook for 8-10 minutes. But this did not work, the pan started to brown in the inside and the pepper was no where close to get cooked. Then only I got this idea of steaming the pepper and it worked. But don't steam it too much, the pepper will become very flimsy and cutting will become a problem.
- Also add salt and chilies a little more than you always use for the regular upma, because the pepper does not have any flavoring.

Oh Upma looks great, and with bell pepper, awesome just divine madhu. Wonderful entry!!!
wow madhu..nice idea & nice photos
madhu – the upma looks great. i posted a rice in capsicum a few weeks ago and the photos were atrociously bad! lol! yours look great – love the green of the capsicum…
Nat idea indeed Madhu! i love how its steamed, and that should’ve tasted amazing!:) btw, this sounds like a nice appetizer recipe, so you can send it in for monthly mingle 😉
That’s clever Madhu, nobody has come with that before. Looks great!:))
Ha ha , upma got a glamour look! Looks great in capsicum Madhu 😛
Siri, Kamala as I have mentioned earlier try to increasing the spices/salt in the upma or drizzle some pickle water all over as I did and it tasted so good.
Ranji, Bhags, Swati, Hetal, Anjali, Uma thank you very much.
Anjali, you can have it for tiffin with coconut chutney, instead of eating the upma by itself. Or else this can also be like a starter, where each one can have half a pepper. Now that you mentioned pasta, I think we can also stuff pasta in the pepper, or a salad.
Yum, yum, yum, delicioso! Perfect entry for both events.
Nice post.
Just one tiny question – what does this go well with? You know how our Indian cooking is. It has to go with rice, roti or something 🙂 Would you say that this would go well as a side for pasta?
Watta wonderful way to serve upma…gr8 idea..
