MIRCHI BHAJI

Welcome to my cookbook Cookerypoint - Ila's Kitchen. I used to remember my rainy days in India...Wow, my mom used to make vada, bhaji with hot tea. It was heaven to have bhaji and tea, sitting and watching the rain. I am missing those days ... Hmmm today our recipe is Mirchi Bhaji. It is a famous South Indian Recipe.It is a popular Indian Street food especially in TamilNadu. It is called as Milaakai bhaji in Tamil. There are varieties of stuffings used inside bhaji. I prefer potato stuffing here. Tha main ingredient is Banana Pepper or long chilli. Lets go to our recipe....
