Greeen Chilly Pakoda is a snack it goes well with cup of Hot Tea or Coffee. Green chilly pakodas are very famous these days. They are known as Mirchy Bhajji.
Mirchy means chilly and bhajji means a fried fritter. People of North Karnataka and many parts of Karnataka these Mirchy bhajjis are also eaten with Masala Mandakki/Puri/Kadale Puri, a snack prepared using Puffed rice.
I have tried these bajji chilly, channa flour/besan/ red chilly powder and jeera/ cumin seeds.
There are different ways you prepare the bajji/fritter. Some do fill the chilly with coriander powder, methi/fenugrik powder, roasted channa powder or besan combined spice powder.
I have slit the chilly removed the seeds and cut them in to small pieces. It helped me fry them on small pan. The advantage of using small pan helps me use less oil. It is said that we should use the deep fried oil in cooking. I don't use the fried oil for cooking. (Use it for door hinges, applying on gates etc).
