Its winters and this is an apt snack for the cold weather. In Hyderabad, where I used to stay you can find many stalls selling piping hot Chilli Bhajji's we call it mirapakaya bhajji. Vendors usually serve it with coconut chutney with onion sprinkled all over the bhajji. I just miss them. So I thought of making them but with potato stuffing and it was delicious. Here is the recipe... happy cooking....
Ingredients:
Green Chillies - 6 (big ones that are used for bhajjis, here in Maharashtra they call it Bhavnagari Mirchi. In Andhra we call it bhajji mirapakaya)
For the batter:
Besan – 1 cup
Rice flour – 3 tsp
Ajwain – 1 tsp
Turmeric powder – a pinch
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Baking soda – a pinch
Salt to taste
For the stuffing
Boiled & mashed potato – 1 cup
Chopped onion – ¼ cup
Red chilli powder – ½ tsp
Chopped coriander leaves – 2 tsp
Cumin seeds - ¼ tsp
Carrom seeds/Ajwain/omam - 1 tsp
Garam masala – a pinch
Salt to taste
Method:
Mix all the ingredients with required water mentioned for the batter to prepare a medium thick batter. Keep aside.
For the stuffing: In a bowl add all the ingredients and mix well. Keep aside.
Wash and dry the chillies. With a knife make a vertical slit in the middle of chillies on one side. Insert the spoon and pluck the thick white vein in the middle along with the seeds. After preparing the chillies, start filling them with the potato mixture.
Heat oil on medium high. Dip the stuffed chillies in batter and gently drop from the sides of kadai into hot oil and deep fry until golden. Remove to a paper towel. Serve.
