Stuffed Mirchi Bajji is spicy, tangy, tasty, flavoured,very less bit sour in taste. I think I mentioned almost all flavours🤗, as spicy from mirchi we used bajji green chilli which is bit less spicy compared to other green chilli and it is specially used for mirchi bajji. Flavoured becoz of the ajwain /carom / vamu/omam used in it, it gives good digestive system. Very bit sour(while biting chilli)becoz of tamarind paste we use in its stuffing which gives good taste to mirchi bajji. It is easy to prepare and we do 2 filling one before frying and other before serving.
Though Mirchi bajji is famous in Rayalseema as snack and in breakfast(everywhere & anytime😎) along with uggani.I had this stuffed mirchi bajji in Tenali as street food(Hubby's place) many times whenever we visit. And it is called as mirapakaya bajji in Andhra. I want to dedicate this recipe to my brother Ram becoz I never saw a person who loves bajji that much as he😍😍. And in our family view my mom prepare best bajji's😍😘.

Note
* You can use normal green chilli's too but it will bit more spicy and can't fill stuffing - 1 properly
* Removing seeds from bajji mirchi/green chilli is optional. If you want more spice you can keep it.
* you can also add roasted cumin powder in stuffing 1.
* you can also add hing while mixing batter. And also you can avoid ajwain seeds and red chilli powder while mixing batter.
* If you are not comfortable by adding baking soda just skip it.
Tips
** Adding baking soda while mixing batter will make bajji fluffy. But remember add a pinch of it otherwise bajji will absorb more oil.
** Adding rice flour will make bajji crispy. You can also add roasted Chanadal powder/putnalu podi to get crispy.
** Also adding 1 tsp of hot oil while mixing batter will make bajji crispy. Do not too much oil otherwise batter Donot coat to green chilli well.
** Do not add more water while soaking tamarind. Take thick tamarind pulp. Otherwise it will comes out while frying bajji's.
** Firstly stuff green chillies, keep it ready and start doing other things so that green chillies will taste good by absorbing tamarind extract.
** Add stuffing 2 (Onion masala mixture ) before serving so that bajji will crisp.
** Maintain oil heat on medium-low flames while frying bajji's, so that the mirchi and stuffing cook well. Otherwise mirchi color changes immediately and do not cook inside well.
** As we get digestive problems by using gram flour/bean flour we use ajwain seeds/vaamu/omam so that we do not get any probs. So do not think about oil, enjoy this stuffed mirchi bajji in this winter season with your friends and family.
