STUFFED GREEN CHILLIES

It is an authentic snack recipe which is easy and tasty. Long green chilli stuffed with roasted chana dal spicy mixture and fried till it becomes crispy and crunchy. A mixture is freshly made and then stuffed in chillies. Stuffed chilli pakodas is a common view in India where vendors are selling delicious spicy snack at the street but these stuffed chillies are used as a side dish to your meal and not as snack. Mainly in North India, I have seen stuffed chilli peppers with chana dal and I had tried it earlier which really tasted deliciously good. As always, though my favorite activity of watching videos on Youtube, I came across this recipe. I am sure you are definitely going to try this dish.
