Mirchi bajji
Mirchi bajji is a popular Indian snack made by deep-frying spicy green chilies coated in a gram flour batter. It is a delicious and spicy treat enjoyed by many people, especially during the rainy season or as a yummy snack with a cup of tea.
Ingredients
- 8-10 large green chilies (such as banana peppers or jalapeños)
- 1 cup gram flour (besan)
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- Water (as needed)
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry the green chilies. Slit them lengthwise, remove the seeds if desired, and keep them aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt. Gradually add water to make a smooth, thick batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Heat oil in a deep pan for frying.
- Dip each green chili in the batter, ensuring it is coated well. Carefully drop the coated chilies into the hot oil.
- Fry the mirchi bajjis in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the mirchi bajjis hot with mint chutney or tamarind chutney.
- Enjoy!
