Cooking Tips

• Choose long and thick green chillies for this recipe to ensure they hold their shape during frying.
• Adjust the spice level by adding more or less red chili powder in the batter and masala filling.
• Make sure the batter is not too thick or too thin. It should coat the chillies evenly.
• To make the bajjis extra crispy, add a tablespoon of hot oil to the batter before mixing.

Storage and Serving

• Plain Mirchi Bajjis are best enjoyed immediately after frying while they are still hot and crispy.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the bajjis in a preheated oven or air fryer to regain their crispiness before serving.
