Huma’s Mirch Pakora

Sar jo tera chakraye aur taste koi na bhaaye 🙄 Kha ley pyarey Mirch Pakorey, naak bhi khul jaaye aur bheja bhi khul jaaye 🤧😰🤯 When nothing tastes good after a fever this spicy pakora recipe will sure open your taste buds and get you back on track ….. lol

Ingredients:-
1. 8 long green peppers (like jalapeños), slit open and cut in half
2. 2 tablespoons chaat masala
3. 1 cup gram flour (besan)
4. 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
5. 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
6. 1/2 teaspoon ajwain (carom seeds) - optional
7. Salt to taste
8. Water (as needed for batter)
9. Oil (for deep frying)
10. 1/2 cup green coriander chopped

Instructions:-
1. Wash the green peppers thoroughly.
2. Slit the peppers open lengthwise, making sure not to cut them all the way through. Optionally, remove the seeds for less heat.
3. Fill each pepper with chaat masala.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, ajwain, and salt. Add green coriander leaves.
5. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients and mix until you get a smooth, thick batter.
6. In a deep frying pan or kadai, heat enough oil over medium heat for deep frying.
7. Check if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
8. Dip each stuffed pepper into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
9. Carefully place the batter-coated peppers into the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pan.
10. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes, flipping gently for even cooking.
11. Remove the pakoras from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
12. Serve hot with mint chutney, tamarind sauce, or ketchup.
Enjoy your Mirch Pakoras and love your life ✨💕😋
