Milagu Bhajji (Chillies fried in Chickpea flour batter)

Course: Appetizer, Snack
Cuisine: Indian, South Indian

Ingredients

  • Bhajji chilli large, light green chilli – 4, halved (I deseeded as I wanted my little one to enjoy this snack. But keep it by all means if you like it fiery and hot.)
  • Vegetable oil – for deep frying

Bhajji Mix:

  • Besan chickpea flour – 2 cups
  • Red chilli powder – ½ tsp
  • Salt – to season
  • coriander leaves – a handful finely chopped
  • turmeric powder – ½ tsp
  • sparkling water/soda – add enough to form a thick batter

Instructions

  • Make a batter using ingredients given under bhajji mix
  • Dip the chillies in the batter to coat evenly. Deep fry in oil.
  • Serve with chutney or sauce of choice.

Notes

Cold water can be used instead of sparkling water; I used the latter since it makes the batter light and foamy.
