Mirchi Bhajji
A popular Indian street food snack, perfect for a rainy day!
Ingredients:
- Long Green Chillies: 6
- Besan (Gram Flour): 3 cups
- Rice Flour: 1/4 cup
- Red Chilli Powder: 2 tsp
- Turmeric Powder: 1/4 tsp
- Salt: to taste
- Oil: for deep frying
Method:
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the besan, rice flour, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Gradually add water while mixing continuously to form a smooth, thick batter with a consistency similar to dosa batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Prepare the Chillies: Carefully slit the green chillies lengthwise. You can cut each chilli into two or three smaller pieces if you prefer.
- Heat the Oil: Place a pan or kadai on medium-high heat and add enough oil for deep frying.
- Fry the Bhajjis:
- Once the oil is hot, dip a prepared green chilli piece into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Gently drop the coated chilli into the hot oil.
- Repeat with the remaining chilli pieces, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Fry until the bhajjis are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Serve: Remove the bhajjis from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serving Suggestion:
Enjoy these delicious and spicy Mirchi Bhajji with coconut chutney and a hot cup of tea, especially during the rainy season.
