Mirchi Pakoras, also called as Chily Pakoras or Mirchi Bhajiyas are a wonderful treat for those who love the spiciness of green chilies.
Ingredients
  • Green Chilies: 5-6 big
  • Curd: 4 tbsp
  • Salt: to taste
  • Chickpea Flour (Besan): ¾ cup
  • Turmeric Powder: ½ tsp
  • Carom Seeds: 1 tsp
  • Baking Soda: ¼ tsp
  • Rice flour: 4 tbsp
  • Chili Powder: ¼ tsp
  • Cumin Powder: 1 tsp
  • Water: 1 cup
  • Oil: for deep frying
Instructions
  1. Cut the green chilies into smaller pieces. If you want, you can just cut them into two parts. I prefer making 4 parts.
  2. Apply curd and salt to taste to the green chilies and keep aside. This reduces the spiciness of the chillies to some extent.
  3. Heat oil for deep frying in a deep bottomed pan.
  4. Mix the besan, rice flour, carom seeds, turmeric powder, chili powder, cumin powder, baking soda, salt and water to make a thick paste.
  5. Dip each mirchi in the batter so as to coat it properly.
  6. Deep fry till golden brown.
  7. Serve hot.
Notes
You can add or reduce the chili powder based on the spiciness of the green chillies.
