Time to Prepare: 10 Mins

Ingredients

Amchur powder 1/4 tsp
Baking soda 1/4 tsp
Besan atta (chickpea flour) 1 cup
Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp
Garam masala powder 1/2 tsp
Green Chillies, large size 8-9
Green peas (boiled) 3 tbsp
Hing (asafoetida) pinch
Oil for deep frying
One chopped Onion
One boiled and mashed potatoes
Red chilli powder 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Water as needed

Directions

To prepare the stuffing, add little oil in a hot pan, and put some cumin seeds. When the cumin seeds splutter, add chopped onions and sauté. Add pinch of hing, salt, turmeric and mix. When the onions are slightly cooked, add amchur powder, chilli powder and garam masala. Mix all ingredients well. Add some green peas and mix. Add boiled mashed potato (there should not be any moisture in the potato mash). Mix well, switch off the flame and allow this mixture to cool. For the outer casing, combine besan atta (chickpea flour), salt and baking soda in a bowl. Add little by little water and make this mixture into a thick paste free of lumps. Slit the green chillies, remove seeds and keep aside. Stuff the green chillies with the potato mix. Dip the stuffed green chillies in the chickpea batter till they are completely covered. Heat oil in a pan and when the oil is hot, gently drop the coated green chillies and fry on medium heat until they turn slightly golden brown in colour. Remove and place onto a plate. Cut them into small pieces and sprinkle them chaat masala on the cut mirchi. Serve hot with sweet chutney.

Comments

Mirchi Vada is an amazing Jodhpuri snack; where green chillies are stuffed with a spicy potato mixture coated in gram flour and deep fried. It has a great blend of sweet and spicy flavours.
