Milaga bajji is a mouthwatering spicy snack. In my childhood, we never use to miss this favorite snack whenever we go to beach in Chennai. The variety in Chennai comes without any stuffing. Even though it is a bit spicy,we love to have it. After moving to Hyderabad, I happened to taste stuffed mirchi bajji . You get this almost everywhere in Hyderabad. Hyderabadis prepare delicious stuffed mirchi bajjis. I tried preparing this at home, which turned out to be a big hit in my family. They love to have it as a evening snack. There are variety of mirchi or milaga to choose from, but I always stick to Bajji milaga(in tamil) called as Banana peppers(in U.S).
Ingredients for Batter:
Besan flour - 2 cups
Riceflour - 2 tablespoon
Asafoetida - a pinch
Baking soda - a pinch
Water as per the requirement
Salt to taste
Oil for frying
Ingredients for stuffing :
Potato boiled - 2 medium
Onion - 1 tablespoon
Chat masala - 1 teaspoon
tamarind pulp - 1 tablespoon
coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Method :
Wash the mirchi and slit them using a knife. Make sure the stem is intact to the mirchi. If you want it to be mild, you may remove some of the seeds. Now for the stuffing, add all the ingredients mentioned for stuffing in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Start stuffing the potato mixture to the mirchi bajji and keep it aside.
To prepare the batter just mix all the ingredients (for batter) and add enough water. For stuffed mirchi, the batter should be little thick in consistency when compare to your regular batter for bajjis.
Heat the kadai with enough oil. Dip the stuffed mirchi in the batter and deep fry them in the oil. Let it cook on both sides. Remove them when they are golden brown. Hyderabadi stuffed mirchi bajji is ready to serve.
Try this delicious snack and let me know your comments.
