Indian Stuffed Green Peppers Recipes

SPICY STUFFED LONG GREEN CHILLIES

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium high heat in a large frying pan. Pour in the flour and work it with a whisk or for in the pan so that it toastes evenly. The flour is ready when fragrant and lightly browned. Add theturmeric, chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, mango powder and salt and transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Pour in the water and work with your hands into a thick paste. Slit your green chillies down the middle and remove most of the seeds with your thumb. Then stuff the chillies with the gram flour paste.
• Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over low heat. Add the chillies and fry until they are soft and begin to change colour. You should see a few blackened spots and blisters on the chillies. Serve immediately on their own or with a good raita or coconut chutney.
