Mirchi Vada or should we also call it Jodhpuri Mirchi Bada which is a very popular namkeen snack in the state of Rajasthan. The traditional Mirchi bada is made of the large variety of green peppers stuffed with a spicy potato mix, coated with gram flour and deep fried until slightly golden in colour.http://www.vahrehvah.com/mirchi-vadaIngredientsDirections1/4 tsp Amchur powder1/4 tsp Baking soda1 cup Besan atta (chickpea flour)1/2 tsp Cumin seeds1/2 tsp Garam masala powder8-9 number Green Chillies, large size3 tbsp Green peas (boiled)pinch Hing (asafoetida)0 Oil for deep frying1 number Onions, chopped3 number Potatoes, boiled and mashed1/2 tsp Red chilli powder0 Salt to taste1/4 tsp Turmeric powder0 Water as neededTo prepare the stuffing, add little oil in a hot pan, and put some cumin seeds. When the cumin seeds splutter, add chopped onions and sauté. Add pinch of hing, salt, turmeric and mix. When the onions are slightly cooked, add amchur powder, chilli powder and garam masala. Mix all ingredients well. Add some green peas and mix. Add boiled mashed potato (there should not be any moisture in the potato mash). Mix well, switch off the flame and allow this mixture to cool. For the outer casing, combine besan atta (chickpea flour), salt and baking soda in a bowl. Add little by little water and make this mixture into a thick paste free of lumps. Slit the green chillies, remove seeds and keep aside. Stuff the green chillies with the potato mix. Dip the stuffed green chillies in the chickpea batter till they are completely covered. Heat oil in a pan and when the oil is hot, gently drop the coated green chillies and fry on medium heat until they turn slightly golden brown in colour. Remove and place onto a plate. Cut them into small pieces and sprinkle them chaat masala on the cut mirchi.
