mirch ki sabzi recipe | hari mirch ki sabji | besan ki mirchi with detailed photo and video recipe. an ideal mild spicy, side dish for your lunch or dinner and can be served for both roti / chapathi. the recipe is prepared with green chilli or commonly known as yellow wax pepper or banana pepper with chickpea flour and peanut powder stuffing. there are numerous ways to prepare hari mirch ki sabji, but this recipe is very much inspired from maharashtra cuisine.
besan ki mirchi sabji is also a popular rajasthani cuisine side dish recipe and is mainly served with dal baati recipe. however in this recipe post i have used the combination of besan and groundnut powder as the stuffing which brings further down to maharashtra. in maharashtra it is mainly served as side dish to rice and dal amti or with jowar bhakri. but i personally love this hari mirch ki sabji as a side dish with my dal rice recipe with some extra mango pickle and some ghee topping. i even prepare the same recipe with long dark green coloured chilli. comparatively these are hotter and i wouldn’t recommend if you are not spicy food eater.
furthermore some important tips and recommendations for a perfect spicy hari mirch ki sabji recipe. firstly, and more importantly i have de seeded the chilies before using it in the sabzi. this should lower the spice level and i heavily recommend to do the same. if you are comfortable with the spice level, than add the seeds accordingly. secondly, adding desiccated coconut would lower the the temperature further down but it is completely optional and can be ignored, lastly, i have slit the banana peppers vertically before using it in the sabzi. alternatively you can cut them cylindrical with a hollow in between. the space can be used for spice stuffing.
finally i would like to highlight my other dry curries or sabzi recipes collection with this post of hari mirch ki sabji. it includes recipes like, dum aloo, dahi bhindi, soya chunks curry, paneer masala, paneer bhurji gravy, palak paneer, baingan masala and veg kurma recipe. in addition do visit my other recipes collection with this post of besan ki mirchi,
