Notes
Use red bell pepper only for this recipe and roast it in the oven first. The red bell pepper should be roasted just enough so that the skin peels off easily
In my version, I use pomegranate seeds which adds an exotic flavor to the recipe. Do not skip this ingredient
I used homemade panko breadcrumbs in this recipe. If you are able to, please use freshly made bread crumbs.
Traditionally, this recipe calls for using alepo red pepper. I couldn't find them here, so, I used dried red chili pepper. Cut the chili pepper in half and discard the seeds inside
If you don't have dried chili peppers, you can always use crushed red pepper
