Recipe for spicy mirchi bajji…this is one of the eternal snack! This is a common method of making these bajjis. This coconut stuffed bajjis are quite famous in Hyderabad. There is another version of stuffing where you just add vamu and jeera paste. Its very hot and spicy stuffing so I always prefer this mild version.

Ingredients for stuffing

3 tbs coconut powder
1 tbs dhaniya powder
1 tbs sesame seeds or nuvvulu

Roast all of them and grind them adding little salt. Add two tbs of tamarind extract and mix well.

Ingredients for batter

1 cup besan
salt to taste
1 tsp Red chilli powder
A pinch of turmeric
1 tsp vamu
A pinch of baking soda

Sieve the besan into a bowl.Now prepare the batter by adding water and mix it well so that it is without any lumps. Keep it aside for 10 min. Clean each green chilli and make a slit and remove all the seeds with a back of a spoon (believe me..its easy this way). To avoid that burning sensation, you can apply some oil on your hands and then remove the seeds. This way, there will be no burning sensation (old granma thing ). After removing the seeds, add the stuffing in the slit and keep it aside.

Now take another pan and add oil for deep frying. Take each stuffed chilli and dip in the batter so that its evenly coated with the batter and dip it in the hot oil. Fry till golden brown.  Serve hot!

Serving tips – Stuff chopped onions in the slit and sprinkle lemon juice on it and gobble it up!!
