Mirchi bada and onion pieces

Mirchi bada is a super yummy and spicy snack from India. Imagine a big green chili pepper, but not just any chili! It's often a special kind called a banana pepper. This pepper is filled with a tasty mix, usually mashed potatoes or sometimes cauliflower.

After being stuffed, the chili is dipped in a batter made from gram flour. Then, it's fried until it's golden and crispy. People usually eat Mirchi bada hot. It often comes with tomato sauce or a fresh mint and tamarind chutney.

A Special Snack from Jodhpur
