Mirchi Bhajji

Ingredients
Gram flour - 1 cup
Rice flour - 2 tbsp
Salt to taste
Baking Soda
Long Green Chillies - 5 or 6
Salt to taste
Oil to fry

For filling the Green Chillies - Take 2 tbsp of Ajwaine (ova) and salt and grind well to make powder.

Procedure
In a bowl take add gram flour, rice flour, baking soda, salt and mix well with water. Add sufficient water to make fluid thick batter.

Cut the green chillies length-wise to open up the inside. Remove the chilli seeds and make the inside hollow. Now fill this with the Ajwaine powder that we prepared earlier.

In a deep frying pan heat the oil on medium flame. Now dip these filled/stuffed green chillies into the gram flour batter and replace into the heating oil for deep frying. Fry till golden brown from all sides. And your Mirchi Bhajji's are ready to savor.

Author's Note
The most important part of making the Mirchi Bhajji's tasty is to make sure that the batter is not very watery and is sufficiently thick to form a layer around the chillies when dipped.

A good and spicy snack to go with the chilli in the air during that aromatic Rainy season.
