Aloo-stuffed Mirchi Bajji

 

Hey Guys! Let me show you how to make aloo stuffed mirchi bajji. It is a spicy snack made by deep-frying long green bullhorn type of chilies, coated with besan flour batter but stuffed with potato and onion spicy mixture.

This spicy potato stuffing is made up of boiling and mashing potatoes then mixing with chopped onion, chat masala powder, chili powder, and a few other spices.

13. Take out all the seeds from the chili and stuff it with spicy potato and onion stuffing. 
14. Stuff the other chilies and keep them aside ready for deep frying.
15. To prepare the batter, take a bowl.
16. Add a cup of gram flour, a tbsp of rice flour to get that crispiness, 1/4 tsp of cumin seeds, a tsp of red chili powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, salt as per taste, and 1/8 tsp of cooking soda.

18. Now add water little by little and make a little thick batter.
19. Alright, the batter is ready, I'll keep it aside.
20. Take a Kadai and add cooking oil to deep frying.
21. Heat the cooking oil on a medium flame.
22. When the oil is hot enough, dip the stuffed long chilis in the batter and drop them carefully into the hot oil.
23. Fry the chilis until they get golden and crispy on a medium flame.
24. When they are ready, transfer them to a plate.
25. That's it! Aloo stuffed Mirchi Bajji is ready to be served.

In south India, it is commonly served as a classic south Indian tea-time snack particularly during the winter or nighttime. It is also served along with the main meal or as an appetizer.

The chili's spiciness and crunchiness nicely complement the crispiness of the fried batter, making for a delicious snack.
