GREEN CHILLY DEEP FRY / TEEKI MIRCHI

Normally we use long and less spicy chilly for making bajjis. Today I used normal, spicy chilly (we use for curries) for making Bajji or Bajo.

WHAT YOU NEED:

Green chilly - 8-10

Raw rice - 1/2 cup or you can use rice powder instead. 

Chana powder / besan - 1/2 cup

Salt - to taste

Cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp

Asafoetida - a small piece

HOW TO MAKE:

Soak rice in water for 15-20 minutes. Drain.

Wash green chillies, slit a little then remove the seeds. Soak in salted water for 15 minutes. Drain.

Grind soaked rice along with salt and asafoetida to a smooth thick paste.

Mix chana powder and rice paste. Add little water to make thick batter

Add cumin seeds, mix well.

Now mix chillies and ground mixture very well.

Heat enough oil in kadahi.

Fry chillies on medium heat till they are crisp.

Serve Fried chillies with Sauce.
