Mirachi Pakoda

Mirachi Vada is very popular Rajsthani recipe. This mirachi vada is made with large size green chilli, known as Bhavnagari chili. Mirachi vada is stuffed with potato mixture. I made very simple pakoda with these chillies. They are very tasty and goes well with dal-rice.




Ingredients:
  • Bhavnagari chilli- 6 to 8
  • Besan (gram flour)- 1 cup
  • Rice flour- 1 tbsp (optional)
  • Water- approx ½ cup 
  • Cumin powder- 1½ tsp
  • Coriander powder- 1 tsp
  • Chilli powder- 1 tsp or as per like
  • Turmeric powder- ½ tsp
  • Asafetida (Hing)- ¼ tsp
  • Carom seeds (Ova, Ajvain)- 1½ tsp 
  • Soda bi-carb (baking soda)- ¼ tsp
  • Salt- to taste.
  • Oil for deep frying- as required

Method:
  • Mix besan, rice flour, cumin powder, coriander powder, chilli powder, turmeric powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. 
  • Add water slowly and stir the mixture. There should not be lumps in the batter. Consistency of the batter should be medium. Add 1 tsp hot oil in the batter.
  • Wash chillies. 
  • Cut green chillies as shown in picture. Sprinkle little on them and rub gentely. 
  • Heat the oil in a kadhai/wok. Turn flame to medium heat once oil is hot. Put a piece into the batter, they are completely coated and deep fry them till colour turns nice golden brown. Be careful not to over crowd in the wok. You can put 4-5 bhajees in at a time. Drain on a paper towel.
  • Serve hot with a meal as side.
