About Besan Bhari Mirch
Besan Bhari Mirch (Bharwa Mirch) is a traditional recipe often prepared in Rajasthani households. It is spicy, tangy, and bursting with simple yet delicious flavors! Large green chilies are filled with a spiced, flavorful gram flour mixture. They are then pan-fried until soft, with a little chard on top. Serve besan mirch on the side with everyday Indian meals for a taste lift. Choose chilies that are bright green and a little firm to the touch. Avoid the bruised ones with black patches or very soft to the touch. Gram Flour (Besan, Chickpea Flour) is roasted with spice powders to fill the green chilies. Spice Powders – This recipe uses basic spice powders such as coriander powder, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, fennel powder (saunf), and dry mango powder (amchoor). Oil – Any cooking oil will do. Add 1 cup of gram flour to the pan and roast until it turns slightly brown and fragrant, stirring very frequently. Add the following ingredients to the roasted gram flour and mix well.
2 teaspoon coriander powder 1 teaspoon turmeric powder 2 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder 2 teaspoon fennel powder 2 teaspoon mango powder 2 teaspoon salt
Make slits in the green chilies with ends intact and remove their seeds. Stuff the green chilies with the gram flour mixture. Arrange the chilies in the pan in a single layer. If all the chilies do not fit, cook them in batches. Flip the chilies using a pair of tongs. Cover and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Remove on a serving plate and serve hot.
