• Ensure the batter is of a thick consistency to coat the chilies properly.
• Fry the pakoras on medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.

Storage and Serving

• Mirchi pakoras are best served hot and crispy.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the pakoras in a preheated oven or air fryer for a few minutes until they become crispy again.
