Background

Mirchi bajji is a popular street snack and made with banana chilli pepper which has a mild and tangy taste. It is a savoury snack goes well with tea or coffee. Bajji can be made with or without stuffing. Both variations are delicious. This easy recipe is from my mother and is a favorite of all in my family.

2 Tbsp rice flour
¼ tsp carom seeds
¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup water
1 Tbsp oil
1 large onion (finely chopped)
1 Tbsp chat masala

Instructions

Take the peppers and slit at the center and remove seeds.
For batter, in a mixing bowl, add gram and rice flour, carom seeds, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
Add water to the dry ingredients and mix well to prepare smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps.
