Stuffed Chillies
Stuffed Chillies
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 15-25 mins
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients:
4-6 Jalapenos or any medium thick skinned Chillies
2 Potatoes
1 cup Gram flour/Besan
1 tbsp Rice Flour
A pinch of Cooking Soda (optional)
1-2 tsp Red Chilli Powder
½ tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Jeera/Cumin Powder
1 tsp Amchur/Dry Mango Powder
Salt to Taste
Oil for Deep Frying
Stuffed Chillies
Method:
Slit the chilli along one side using small knife.
Remove the seeds and white part inside the chilli. If you prefer spicy ones then leave the seeds as they are.
Peel the potatoes and chop them into large chunks. Cook them in salted water and mash them thoroughly.
Make small balls of mashed potatoes and stuff them tightly inside the chilli and keep them aside.
Make thick batter of gram flour, rice flour, cooking soda, chilli powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, amchur and salt using enough water. Make sure that there are no lumps left in the batter.
You can mix about a tbsp of hot oil into the batter which will help to reduce the amount of oil absorbed during deep frying.
Dip stuffed chillies in batter and coat all the sides.
Deep fry them in heated oil till they turn crisp and golden brown in colour.
Serve sizzling hot with tomato ketchup or any chutney or dips of your choice.
Stuffed Chillies
Variations:
You can add garam masala or any other spices like chilli powder, turmeric powder, amchur, jeera powder etc to mashed potatoes for making it spicier.
Add grated cheese or paneer to mashed potatoes for extra richness.

Stuffed Chillies
Did You Know?
Chillis are loaded with vitamin A, a potent antioxidant and boost to the immune system. As the pods mature and darken, high quantities of vitamin C are gradually replaced with beta carotene and the capsaicin levels are at their highest. Due to these capsaicin levels, some believe that eating chillis may have an extra thermic affect, temporarily speeding up the metabolic rate, hence burning off calories at a faster rate. Whatever, you certainly do sweat and actually cool down in hot climates as sweat evaporates. Your nose runs, your head clears ... you can breathe! And with that extra flow of saliva, the gastric juices also flow. The alkaloids from the capsaicin stimulate the action of stomach and intestine improving the whole digestion process!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteFirst time here. I came to you from Asha's "foodie's hope" blog. Glad I found you. Good collection of recipes and awesome presentations. Nice inspirations for my next party.Very artistic pictures. Good work.
Yummo Sia! I have a bunch of peeps sitting on my desk so I guess your stuffed stuff is far from my weight woes. I must say food blogs have certainly contributed to a few extra pounds on my body but hey I second Trupti's thoughts :-)
ReplyDeleteYum sia. They look gorgeous. I have been known to buy stuffed chillies from my favourite London sweet shop. These look almost identical.
ReplyDeleteSup,
ReplyDeleteI have a very simple solution to ur "increasing waistline"..Send all those stuffed stuffies here:))..Very nice recipe..Esp. liked the design u made with the ketchup..Go and hit the gym, girl..and keep making all these wonderful dishes..
Hi Supriya, I definitely have to take a little time away from stuffing myself these days, but I don't think I can do it before I try these and your mushrooms... oh my goodness!!! The photos are gorgeous as usual, and they both sound soooo delicious :) I especially like the 'flame' garnish for the chiles... so clever!
ReplyDeleteHi Supriya, blogger ate my first comment where I was lamenting my own stuffing issues... but I must try your chiles and mushrooms!! The photos are gorgeous as usual, and I especially liked the 'flame' garnish for the chiles... very clever! :)
ReplyDeleteNice plating! You eat with your eyes first :D
ReplyDeleteI can blame you for the same sia :P but worry not..... we will all promise to go the the gym okay???!!!! ;) Get the stuffed stuffs coming ........
ReplyDeleteHmm Stufed jalapenos are decadent, my mouth is watering!I had th ebest of these in JAipur!
ReplyDelete@musical,
ReplyDeletei never tried chillies with paneer although i use grated paneer for tomatoes and capsicum stuffing.
@gattina,
u r too kind with compliments lady:) see who is talking about food styling? u always make me drool over ur presentation:)
@kribha,
a warm welcome to spice corner dear:) i am glad to get ur feedback:) hope u will visit again.
@KA,
ReplyDeleteha ha ha... u r too funny KA:) and i too feel the same:)
@mallika,
from indian takeaways, i found them too oily and too spicy for my liking. so i make them at home as it is very easy to make them:)
@swapna,
ha ha ha... thats a wonderful idea;)
gym is the only solution i guess:)
@linda,
ReplyDeleteha ha ha linda... u r so much like me. i cant rest until i try something:) do let me know how u like them. looks like madam coffee has made stuffed mushrooms and liked it:)

ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Wow! I hv Jalapneos in my fridge and I was wondering wot to do with them, especially as I do not prefer to use them in our style of food! Thanx Supriya!! ~hugs~
ReplyDeleteAnd Oh... another thing... since u mention waistlines.... it IS difficult to resist ! I FAIL every time I resolve to diet... my hubby just shakes head and is content with a few sarcastic remarks.... water off a duck's back!!hehehehe!!

Hi Sia,
ReplyDeleteI tried the stuffed chilli recipe this week and turned out great.Have posted in my blog and ending it back to you for MBP.
Hey wat is the pepper u have used.Is it Capsicum(Kodamilaga) or the Bajji Chilli(Long, green one).
ReplyDeleteHave u cutthe chilli breadth wise instead of length wise
Hey the chilli u used is capsicum?
ReplyDeleteDid u cut it breadth wise instead of lengthwise
Can u pls tell me whether u r using capsicum for this stuffed chilli
ReplyDeleteSo u cut the Capsicum into 2 halves across the breadth
@bhargavi,
ReplyDeleteThese are banana peppers we get in indian stores not capsicums. you can either cut them in middle and stuff and then cover with batter and deep fry or slit vertically from top-bottom, then stuff and cover with batter and deep fry and then cut in center.
you can also use capsicums if desired.
