Stuffed Spicy Mirchi / Stuffed Chilli

Stuffed Spicy Mirchi 

The other day it was raining and in the night for dinner, i felt like eating something spicy, looked at the veggies and found nice green mirchi and thought of whether to make bajji or stuffed spicy mirchi and finally Spicy Mirchi wins .... it was good deal!!!!!

Ingredients  

• 1 table spoon oil
• 6 to 8 long thick green chillies
• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
• a pinch heeng (asofetida)
• 1/2 cup of yogurt / butter milk - some use instead of butter milk lime juice/amchoor powder i prefer butter milk

For stuffing:

• 1/2 cup gram flour (besan)
• 2 tsp Amchoor powder
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 4 tbsp oil(approx.)
• Salt to taste

Preparation 

Here in USA we get all veggies throughout the year, and easily available in all stores and one of the many reasons to cook to what we like all the time ....

• Make a slit in all the chillis and remove the seeds
• Bake the chillis for 4 minutes
• Prepare the stuffing - grind the besan, add salt to it
• Stuff the gram flour mixture into chillies tightly

• Heat pan, add 1 table spoon of oil and add the chillies
• Close the lid and reduce the heat and cook on low heat for  7/8  minutes - turn the chillies in between

• After you see that the chillies are fryed enough, add 1/2 cup of yogurt and leave it for 5 more minutes 
• Add the remaining  gram flour to the chillies - if you like more gravy you could add more gram flour to the chillies other than the stuffing

If you use yogurt the stuffed mirchi will be little wet and will consume less oil, obviously less calories.

Serve warm with hot rice or Chapati - Try this recipe and let us know how it tastes - Leave your comments!!!!
