Step 1: Prepare the Stuffing
In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour (besan), spices, and any other seasonings. Mix thoroughly to form a smooth, thick paste. Ensure there are no lumps.
Time taken: 5 minutes
Step 2: Prepare the Green Chiles
Wash the green chilies and make a lengthwise slit along each chili, removing the seeds carefully. You can also soak the chilies in warm water for 10 minutes to soften them for easier stuffing.
Time taken: 8 minutes
Step 3: Stuff the Chilies
Stuff the prepared mixture into each slit chili, pressing it gently so the filling stays inside. Repeat until all chilies are stuffed.
Time taken: 10 minutes
Step 4: Heat Oil for Frying
Heat oil in a shallow frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be enough to cover at least half of the stuffed chilies. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of the stuffing into the oil—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
Time taken: 3 minutes
Step 5: Fry the Stuffed Chilies
Carefully slide the stuffed chilies into the hot oil. Fry them until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking. The chilies should be crisp and the stuffing should be cooked through.
Time taken: 10-12 minutes
Step 6: Drain Excess Oil
Once the chilies are fried to a crisp, remove them from the oil and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Time taken: 2 minutes
Step 7: Serve
Serve the hot Besani Mirchi as a snack or appetizer with your favorite chutney or yogurt. Enjoy!
