Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chicken mince with yogurt, half of the garam masala, half of the turmeric, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and lemon juice. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and the onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent. Add garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute.
Stir in the tomato paste, remaining garam masala, remaining turmeric, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Return the chicken to the skillet, add cream, and stir to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Mix in the cooked basmati rice and peas. Season with additional salt if needed.
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds. Place them in a baking dish.
Fill each bell pepper with the butter chicken mixture, packing it in tightly.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
Garnish with cilantro before serving.
