1. In a mixing bowl, add gram flour, rice flour, red chilli powder, salt, eno fruit salt(optional) and
hing and mix well. Add water little by little and make it to a thick batter like idli batter.
2. Wash and dry the bajji chilli with a towel. Slit the chilli length wise and remove the seeds from
the green chillies. Optional - We can stuff the finely chopped onion inside the Chilli to enhance
the taste of the bajji. But this step is optional. If you like having the stuffing inside the chilli,
then follow this step. Otherwise, skip this step. Mix the chopped onions, coriander leaves and
lemon juice and mix well.
3. Optional - Stuff each slit green chillies with onion-coriander leaves and keep it aside. Heat oil
in a pan, When the oil is hot enough, take one stuffed chilli and dip it in the bajji batter and coat
it nicely and then gently drop it in the hot oil.
4. Fry the bajji in medium flame till it becomes golden brown and becomes crispy too. Remove
the fried bajji and place it in paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat the step for the rest of the
stuffed chillies.
5. Serve the crispy and spicy Milagai Bajji / Mirchi Bajji / Chilli Bajji with hot coffee / tea and
enjoy the wonderful evening
