  • Do not slit the entire chilli, just slit vertically the centre part of the chilli.
  • Remove the seeds from the chilli completely.

Step 2(Stuffing):

  • In a bowl, add tamarind paste, salt as per taste, roasted cumin seeds powder, chaat masala powder and mix all the ingredients well.
  • Take each chilli and stuff this paste into all the chillies and put them aside.

Step 3(Making the batter):

  • In a bowl, add besan, rice flour, salt, baking soda, ajwain and mix all these.
  • Into it add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, roasted coriander seeds powder, ginger garlic paste, oil and mix it well.
  • Add water and make a batter with a consistency neither too thick nor too liquid.
  • The batter should be mixed well without any lumps in it.

Step 4(Dipping and deep frying):

  • Heat oil in a wok for deep frying.
  • Take each stuffed chilli, dip the stuffed chilli into the batter.
  • Take the dipped chilli and drop it in oil.
  • Similarly dip and drop the rest of the chillies too.
  • Fry them on low to medium flame until they turn golden brown on all sides.
  • Take them out on an absorbent paper.

Garnishing:

  • Take each fried chilli bajji, take a knife and give a small slit to the fried chilli.
  • Stuff the slit part with very finely chopped onions and coriander leaves.
  • Similarly garnish the rest of the fried chillies.
  • Sprinkle chaat masala powder generously all over the mirchi bajji.
