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.

Take the peppers and slit at the center and remove seeds.
