Stuffed chillies..



Stuffed chillies 

North Indian style
They are not at all spicy and even a small kid can eat them…
Read my recipe and enjoy making them.
Choose good, healthy Green chillies. 





Ingredients:
Fat and big green chilies- 8-10
Boiled & peeled Potatoes- 4
Basen / gram flour – 2 tbsp
Kitchen king pd - 1 tsp
G. Masala pd – 1tsp
Moti sonf/ Badishep- Roasted & coarsely ground- 1tbsp
Onion-( option) – 1. Finely chopped.
Coriander pd- 1tsp
G. Chillies- 2-3.finely chopped
R.Cilli pd- 1tsp
Ginger- 1 inch.




Jeera- 1tsp
Salt 2 taste
Amchur – 1tsp / lemon juice- 2tsp.
Pinch of Hing.
Coriander- finely chopped.
Oil- 2-3 tbsp.
  

Method-

1.    Wash and slit the green chilies and remove the veins and seeds of it.
2.       If u find these chillies r hot then go 4 blanching. That is bring water to a boil with some salt and add the green chillies and blanches for a minute n drain them. This also reduces consumption of oil during shallow frying.
3.       If U are fond of spicy food like me then avoid this step.
4.       Boil the potatoes, peel them and grate them and keep it aside.
5.       Dry roast saunf in a pan and pound it in a mortar pestle to get a coarse powder.
6.       Now roast basen just by adding ½ tsp of oil to a golden brown.
7.       Heat a tsp of oil in a non-stick pan n if normal karai then use 2 tbsp of oil. Grate ginger & add onions and slightly sauté it for about a minute and remove them aside. (This is option)
8.       Mix all ingredients.
9.       Stuff the chilies with this mixture. Wet your hands and press on top of the stuffed mixture, you can even sprinkle few drops of oil on the top of the stuffing in the mirch.This helps in holding the mixture tight without spilling it when frying/roasting it.
10.    Heat the oil in a tawa and crackle jeera and ajwain and add a pinch of hing. Place these stuffed chillies with the stuffing facing down(always shallow fry the stuffed side first).
11.    Let it roast on low flame until it is fried,it takes 6-8 mins approximately,close it with lid while roasting.Now turn and roast on the other side for 3-4 mins.
12.    Serve it hot/warm with hot rice and ghee or roti as side dish. You can even serve it as a snack.

Tell me its easy no????
