Course: Snacks

Cuisine: Andhra, India

Servings: 2-3

Ingredients:

Besan flour: 1 cup

Salt: As required

Red chilli powder: 1 tap

Baking Soda: A pinch

Oil: For deep frying

Water: As required to prepare batter

Stuffing(Before frying):

Tamarind extract: 1 tbsp

Besan flour: Half tsp

Garam masala: Generous pinch

Salt: As required

After frying:

Roasted peanuts: 1 tbsp

Onion: 1 no. Small

Coriander leaves: Few

Lemon juice: 1 tsp or as required

Method of preparation:

🌶. Stuffing includes two stages, one before frying and the other after frying!!

Take two tsp of thick tamarind pulp which extracted approximately from a small lemon sized tamarind. Add required amount of salt, red chilli powder, pinch of garam masala and one tsp Besan flour. Mix thoroughly and remove the seeds from green chillies. Now stuff the required green chillies with the prepared stuffing.

🌶. Prepare Besan flour batter(the batter should be little thick compared to regular bajji batter) to coat the green chillies. Coat the stuffed mirchis with Besan batter and deep fry in hot oil. Remove them from oil once they are 90% fried and coat again with Besan batter and deep fry again in hot oil. Remove and transfer onto a plate containing kitchen paper towel to absorb extra oil(Since the batter is thick it did not absorb much oil).

🌶. Now prepare stuffing with a mixture of finely chopped onions, red chilli powder, lemon juice , roasted peanuts, chopped coriander and required amount of salt. Heavenly delicious 🤤!!!
