#CA26 - These Mirchi Vadas are stuffed green chili peppers that are batter fried. It has its origin in Rajasthan, where it is a very popular street food. It is a great tea time snack and also goes well as an appetizer with some green chutney, tamarind chutney or sauce. Generally the stuffing is that of boiled and mashed potato and it is almost similar to the Andhra style mirchi bajji, except for the stuffing. But I gave a slight twist to the original recipe by adding some boiled and grated eggs to the potato mix to dish out this non-veg. version of mirchi vada. They turned out simply yummy.
