Cut off a thin slice from the bottom of each pepper so that it stands straight.

Add the garlic, curry powder and ginger and cook, stirring 2 minutes more. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.

Sprinkle tops of peppers with the bread crumbs and drizzle each with a little olive oil. Bake the peppers for 40 to 45 minutes, or until stuffing is completely cooked.
