Green Chili Bajji. Beach Molaga/Milagai Bajji. Bajji Molaga.

This is Salma aunty's recipe....she has so much patience....to fienly chop these, stuff and then fry them! Must be hell of a cook. Later after tasting her recipe...I felt like making them on my own. Pretty messy work to do. But I liked it.

Ingredients:

Banana Chilies 6-8
Gram flour 1 cup
Salt
Baking soda 1 pinch
Rice flour 2-4 spoons
Chili powder 1 spoon
Oil for frying.

For Stuffing:

Finely chopped onions 1 cup
Lemon juice few spoons
Salt

Method:

Make an incision in the chilies. Remove the contents.

Mix onion with little salt and clemon juice. Now stuff this inside the chilies. Pack well and set aside.

In a bowl mix all the above said ingredients except chili and oil. Make a smooth runny consistency batter.

In a deep frying pan,heat oil. Maintain the stove on medium to high flame.

Dip the chilies and fry them in hot oil. Fry very few at a time. Never load them.

Fry them till golden brown and till outer layer is crispy. Repeat the same for each batch.

Remove using a slotted spoon. Place them over kitchen tissues for a while.
