Follow the step-by-step instructions below to make the best Bharwan Mirchi Recipe
Big Green Chilies — I have used light green sweet peppers for the bharwan Mirchi recipe. These peppers are called Cubanelles and are considered sweet pepper. But you can use any colored long peppers that are sweet tasting for this recipe. Spices and seasonings — Aromatic spices like amchur Powder (mango powder), coriander powder, fennel seeds powder, degi mirch or red chili powder, a pinch of hing (asafoetida), Rai (mustard seeds), Haldi (turmeric powder), garam masala powder, cumin powder, and salt gives a hot and spicy flavor to this bharwan mirchi recipe. Oil — to cook chilies. Spice level — This bharwan Mirchi recipe is moderately spicy. However, the spiciness can be altered by adding or reducing the amount of spices. You can start with a few teaspoons and increase their quantity as desired. Best Pan — A cast-iron pan is the best. Bharwan Mirchi turns out becomes golden and turns out much crispier in a cast-iron pan. Season Peppers — As kids, we used to eat the stuffing and discard the pepper skin because it tasted bland. So my mom started to sprinkle the inside of the peppers with salt before stuffing them. It makes a huge difference! Slice peppers — If your mirchis are big, you can cut them in half or quarters to suit your preferences. Cook in Airfryer — The same recipe can be baked in an airfryer @300°F for 10-12 minutes until they are golden. Remember to turn the mirchi halfway during the entire cooking time to ensure even cooking. It should be noted here that every air fryer is different, so their cooking time may vary. Partial Prep – The stuffing can be prepared two days in advance (do not add water). Cool and store in an airtight container. When ready to assemble-
Rinse and pat dry the peppers, Make a slit, Deseed, Add water and knead the stuffing Stuff the peppers with the filling, and Cook as directed.
Fully Cooked – Cook the Rajasthani bharwan mirch as stated in the recipe. Allow them to cool, then store them in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in an airtight container. When ready to eat, warm the mirchis in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute until heated through.
