Chilli Bhajia

Chilli Bhajia is a spicy and crispy Indian snack made from large green chilies that are coated in a seasoned gram flour (besan) batter and deep-fried until golden and crunchy. The chilies are typically slit and sometimes stuffed with a tangy or spiced filling before being dipped in the batter. The batter is usually flavored with spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, adding an extra layer of flavor to the dish. Chilli Bhajia is often served hot with a side of chutney, such as mint or tamarind, making it a perfect snack for those who enjoy a bit of heat. This savory treat is especially popular during the monsoon season or as an appetizer at festive occasions, loved for its bold flavor and satisfying crunch.
