Directions
Please always use the larger variety of green chillies while making Mirchi Bajji which are not at all spicy. Also do remember to remove the seeds and pith. If the seeds and pith are not removed then the chillies can taste spicy and pungent.
Clean the Long chillies and pat with dry cloth. Slit in the middle and remove the seeds.
Mix all the ingredients listed under *Batter Ingredients - besan, rice flour, red chilli powder, cooking soda, salt, ajwain, oil in a bowl.
Add water little by little to form a smooth thick batter.
Then take the tamarind paste and add cumin seeds then mix well. Now stuff this mixture into the mirchi using spoon and keep it aside.
Heat Oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. When oil is hot, dip the stuffed mirchi into the batter and drop it gently into the hot oil. Fry in medium heat for 30 secs on each side. Then fry in high flame for making it crisp.
Remove the bajji using slotted spoon and let the excess oil drain on kitchen paper towels. Fry the remaining chilli bajjis in a similar manner.
Mix together finely chopped onion, coriander leaves, black salt, chaat masala and lemon juice.
Now slit the fried stuffed mirchi bajji in middle with knife and stuff the above onion masala using spoon or hands.
Yummy and Tasty stuffed Mirchi Bajji is ready to be served with hot tea. Enjoy!!!
Conclusion
Stuffing the Mirchi bajji is purely optional. You can just dip the chili in the batter and deep fry it. Peanuts can also be added to the stuffing. It gives an extra crunch.
