stuffed mirchi bajji recipe | stuffed menasinakai bajji | milagai bajji recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. basically a spicy snack prepared with green chilli and stuffed with potato and onion stuffing. it is typically served as snack with masala chai especially during winter.
i have already shared the plain bajji recipe from green chillies which is without any stuffing. however, i was getting several request to prepare the stuffed mirchi. typically, the stuffing is prepared only with mashed potatoes, however i have extended by adding finely chopped onions. onions give the crunchiness to the stuffing and for stuffed mirchi bajji. however, it is completely optional and can be skipped if you do not prefer to. also, add a pinch of baking soda to the besan batter to make the bajji more fluffy and crisp.
my first experience with stuffed mirchi bajji was during my annual trip to yeracaud in tamilnadu. my husband bought me these and i took it amusing it to be plain mirchi bajji. but i was really surprised to learn the stuffing inside the bajji. i was always under the impression that mirchi bajji’s were plain without any stuffing. the weather was cool and these stuffed spicy bajjis made my trip memorable. perhaps, deep fried or bajji recipes are quite popular in any hill station. it is typically sold as street food with extra tomato ketchup or tamarind chutney.
