Mirchi Bajji

This is a easy to prepare snack which is spicy and i just love them!!! This snack is made out of indian peppers and chicpea flour.

The key to this recipe is the filling inside the mirchis. There are many kinds of fillings you can do and some of the below are my favos.

Filling 1:-
This is the most traditional the way we make at home
Grind the below:-
Soaked tamarind
Jeera
Fried dhania
Salt

Filling 2:-
Mash boiled popatoes
Jeera powder
chopped noins
Salt

Filling 3:-
Grind all the below:-
Coconut
Putnaala Pappu (Dalia)
Garlic

For Batter:-
1. Take 1 cup besan and add water to make it to tick sambaar consistency.
2. Add salt
3. Add ajwain (if making for filling 1). for other kinds of killing it will not jell well.

Preperation:-
1. Choose Big chillies and cut open only one side of the chillie and ensure all the white seeds are taken out.
2. Fill the filling and seal it properly. If using filling one, ensure that you apply little only as it is strong enough
3. Take oil in a thick bottom deep pan. Heat oil till it hot. Switch to med flame now.
4. Now dip the chillies in batter and drop them in hot oil.
5. Fry them nicely for 2 mins. till golden brown
6. Take them off heat and drop them in a vessel with tissue paper for it to absorb all the extra oil.

Enjoy it hot!!

If used filling 3 add onion on the top and sqeeze lemon also before eating
