Mirchi Badas are most consumed during the rainy season in India.[6] In the southern part of India, Mirchi Bada is also referred to as Mirchi Bajji, with stuffing variations from place to place.
Preparation
It is prepared by halving a mirchi (banana pepper), filling it with spices, a coating of mashed potatoes, and gram flour. Initially, the green chilli is fried alongside the potatoes and spices, and subsequently, it is deep-fried with a layer of gram flour coating. Then it is served hot with ketchup or chutneys.[5]
Variation
One variation of Mirchi bada is Mirapakay bajji from Telugu states.[7]
