Help me discover this stuffed green chillies recipe. While in India I read about a dish of stuffed green chillies, but never, ever managed to trace it or even to find out it's name. This is what I know about this dish:
*It is Iranian, and can be bought from Iranian coffee shops in Hyderabad.
*The green chilies are cleaned of their seeds and stuffed with a paste that includes cardamom and other spices.
*The stuffed chilies are deep fried in oil.
*The result is sublime.
I would like to know the name of this dish, and if possible a recipe. Thank you chili lovers wherever you are.

Your definitive [*] recipes please. By definitive I mean that the recipe is good, the food so tasty, that it seems a ridiculous idea to you now to even consider preparing [*] in any other way. Nay, you could even consider yourself fulfilled if you never even tasted [*] prepared in another way before you died....(More inside).
Mine are Marcella Hazan's for roast chicken with two lemons and Pierre Franey's for lamb chops with garlic, parsley, butter and red wine vinegar sauce. Since first making these, I am happily uninterested in any other way of roasting chicken or any other way of dishing up a lamb chop.
I am looking for your equivalent "definitive" recipes, for a pork roast, or a club sandwich, or a summer salad, or a smoothie, or whatever.
