3. Add the fifth ingredients, sauté again, then add coriander leaves and mix.
4. Fill the capsicums with this mixture, place the cut-off lid back on, and secure with a toothpick.
5. Heat a pan, and add garlic first. Add tomatoes after five to six seconds, and sauté for three minutes.
6. Add salt and thick curd and mix well.
7. When it comes to a good boil, gently place each stuffed capsicum into the pan without slanting.
