Stuffed Mirchi bhajji also known by different names like Mirapakaya bajji or Menasinakai bajji in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh and Mirch Pakora in Madhya Pradesh.

 

Stuffed Mirchi Bhajji is prepared using bhavnagri green chillies which are thick and not so spicy version of chillies. Bhavnagri Mirchi is slit, deseeded and stuffed with mashed potato mixture, dipped in besan batter and deep-fried.

 

Stuffed Mirchi bajji comes from the land of Rajasthan which is now popular in many regions of India. Though every state has its own version to make it depending on the ingredients available and used in that particular area.

 

Mirch Pakora has now become the famous street food in India which people prefer for breakfast. These chillies aren’t available all round the year. So, whenever I spot these chillies at a vegetable vendor I pick it up to make different varieties.

 

This time around, since monsoon is extended till Oct and making us all crave for some fried stuff I thought of making this stuffed mirchi bajji and enjoy with a cup of tea.

 

It makes for a perfect tea time snack or a side dish with a meal.
