Instructions

For the Green Chillies

  • Wash and make a slit in the middle of the green chilies, scoop out the seeds.
  • Make a thick batter of besan with salt, red chili powder, cooking soda, turmeric powder with just enough water. Remember the green chili outer layer will be smooth and you will have a tough time making the batter coat the chilies.
  • Keep it aside. In fact, you can do this step once your stuffing is ready.

For the filling:

  • Wash and make slashes on the potatoes. Microwave for 8 minutes. Soak in water, peel the skin.
  • Mash well using a fork, then add salt, chilli powder, amchoor, coriander powder, asafoetida, green chilies and coriander leaves.

Making the Mirchi Vada

  • Stuff the green chilies with potato filling,
  • Dip the chilies into the batter, ensure the chili is coated all over.
  • Heat a kadai with oil. Lower the flame to medium.
  • Now gently drop the coated chilies into hot oil and cook on all sides.
  • Continue with the rest.
  • Using a slotted ladle, remove to a kitchen towel to drain.

Assembling the Mirchi Vada on Pav

  • When about to serve, cut the fried Mirchi Vada, toast the Pav on both sides, place the vada inside, add sliced onions along with lemon and chutneys.
  • This makes such a filling meal by itself!
