Bell pepper is a cultivar group of the species Capsicum annuum. Cultivars of the plant produce peppercorns which develop into fruits in different colors, including red, yellow, green and orange. Bell peppers are sometimes grouped with less pungent pepper varieties as "sweet peppers". The term "bell pepper" is one of the many names for some fruits of the Capsicum annuum species of plants. The misleading name "pepper" (pimiento in Spanish) was given by Christopher Columbus upon bringing the plant back to Europe. At that time peppercorns were a highly prized condiment. Today, the term "bell pepper" or "pepper" or "capsicum" is often used for any of the large bell shaped capsicum fruits, regardless of their color. In British English, the fruit is simply referred to as a "pepper", whereas in many Commonwealth of Nations countries, such as Australia, India, Malaysia and New Zealand, they are called "capsicum". Across Europe, the term "paprika", which has its roots in the word for pepper, is used—sometimes referred to by their color (e.g. "groene paprika", "gele paprika", in Dutch, which are green and yellow, respectively). Paprika also refers to the powdered spice made from the same fruit. In France it is called "poivron" or "piment." In Japan, the word ???? ("pîman," from the French) refers only to green bell peppers, whereas ???? ("papurika," from paprika) refers to bell peppers of other colors. In the United States and Canada, the fruit is often referred to simply as a "pepper" or referred to by color (e.g. "red pepper", "green pepper"), although the more specific term "bell pepper" is understood in most regions. It is also to be noted that Bell Peppers are indeed fruits, even though most treat them as vegetables. In parts of the U.S. around southern Ohio, Northeastern Pennsylvania and northern Kentucky the term "mangoes" (or "mangos") has sometimes been used to refer to bell peppers. However, as the actual mango fruit has become more common in the region, this usage has faded.

"Hai re Nanadiya laal mirchi " (Alas, the sister in law is a red hot chilli pepper!) During my brother's wedding, this was the song sung by the ladies during the wedding ceremony.

5. Fritters Vegetable Pakota
March 28, 2008
Pakotas are an essential item of Indian festive food. They can be made with almost any vegetable (commonly bell pepper, cauliflower, eggplant, potato, or spinach; your veggie club president makes some mean tofu pakotas with extra-thick tahini sauce -- Vijay). This is also a nice way of getting people to eat vegetables they don't normally like.
Pakota needs to be deep-fried which means big dangerous pots of hot oil. These pakotas are flat, however, which means they can be fried in a frying pan with about three centimetres of oil in it. This is marginally less hazardous and has the added ad... (read more)
