Mirchi Bajji

 

  When there is a rain falling outside and climate is cold; who can resist the temptation of eating pakodas and bhajiya/bajji……… so thought of posting famous Hyderabadi street food “Mirchi Bajji”

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

Method

 





 

Roast sesame keep aside to cool

Once it gets cool add little tamarind, salt and grind without adding water (this is stuffing)

Make a slit on green chillies and deseed it

Stuff sesame stuffing mixture and keep aside

 

 

In mixing bowl add gram flour add rice flour add salt, pinch of cooking soda and add water to make a batter

Dip stuffed green chilli in gram flour batter and deep fry it

Take it from oil and keep aside

 

Take the fried chillies dip it again in gram flour and fry to golden colour(this  step is an optional; if you want gram flour batter coated well; then go for this step or else fry only ones)
