Ingredients

1 recipe Keema
2 cups cooked undercooked basmati rice*
~ salt
~ freshly ground black pepper

6 bell peppers
~ boiling water
*Note: Cook the rice slightly less long than you normally would, allowing it to retain a firm—not crunchy—center. The rice will finish cooking inside the peppers, resulting in a perfect tender texture. Click here to learn more about cooking Basmati rice.
