mirchi fry recipe | stuffed green chilli fry | bharwan mirchi fry recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. a simple lip smacking spicy side dish from south indian cuisine which can be prepare with or without the peanut based stuffing. traditionally these hari micrh are stir fried or pan fried, but these can also be deep fried for more crisp and better taste.

typically the stuffed green chilli fry is served as condiment or side dish for simple meal like dal rice or rasam / sambar rice. in other words it is used as taste enhance for day to day simple lunch or dinner. however these days it is also served with street food snacks to increase the spice level and temperature. in addition, in this recipe, i have used peanut based dry spices as a stuffing which helps to lower the spice level. but the chillies can be simply pan fried or deep fried without stuffing and deseeding the chillies. this would result in a extreme spicy mirchi fry.

this recipe is extremely simple without much complicated steps, yet i would like to add few tips for mirchi fry recipe. firstly, i would recommend to use less spicy green peppers or chillies for this recipe. preferably jalapeño peppers are ideal for this recipe with sufficient space for peanut stuffing. secondly, i have deseeded the chillies before stuffing which reduces the spice level. however if you prefer to be spicy then you can keep it as it is. lastly, do not over cook the chillies otherwise it would loose its crunchiness and turns out soggy.
