An artistic and cultural heritage that mirrors the old Indian way of life may be found in Rajasthan, a state that is quite culturally rich. Village folk culture is diverse and rich, and it is often used as a representation of the state. The nomadic lifestyle of the Rajasthani people and the scarcity of ingredients in the desert area have had an impact on regional cuisine. Rajasthan is mostly arid and covered with sand. Cooking has been impacted by the paucity of water and fresh green veggies.
The irresistible Jodhpuri Mirchi vada is a reflection of Rajasthan’s charm. If you go there once, you won’t be able to get enough. There are many heroic tales from the kingdom of Rajputana. It brings to mind the courageous people who have forever battled against foreign invaders in defense of their homeland. Their love story was unparalleled, and their sacrifice was unparalleled.

You can’t help but notice the vendors whipping up mouthwatering Pyaaz Kachori as you go through any Rajasthani market. Fried wheat encasing spicy stuffing makes up a kachori, which is similar to a samosa. The main stuffing element in the irresistible Pyaaz Kachori is the onion, which is called pyaaz in the local language. As a snack, it’s ideal. If you’re interested in trying one while touring Rajasthan with Indian Excursions Co., feel free to ask your knowledgeable local guide for recommendations on the best nearby restaurant.

The traditional street cuisine of Rajasthan, particularly Jodhpur, is Mirchi Vada. Using big, mild chilies is key to this Rajasthani mirchi vada dish. Banana peppers or chili bhaji are two names for these peppers. These peppers include a sauce made with spicy potato. If you want to create mirchi vada, bada, or bhaji, you will need to dip them in gram flour batter, also called besan batter, and fry them.

Ingredients
● Boil potatoes
● Jarepanoes and green Bhavnagar chilies
● The baking soda
● chickpea flour, also known as besan,
● Ground turmeric
● Powdered red chilli
● Dried mango powder, or amchur
● Add salt to taste and oil to fry.

Ways to make
To prepare the Rajasthani mirchi vada, steam the peppers for a few minutes and then cut them in half lengthwise. Make sure the head remains still. Take the seeds out.
Stuff the peppers with mashed potatoes and top them with them.
Mix the mirchi bada with the dry flour and roll it out.
After that, suspend them in the batter.
Fry the filled mirchi in oil that is medium hot.
Removing from heat once golden brown

Variations
Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your liking for a spicier dish. Use Bhavnagari mirch if you can. For a milder variation, you may use sweet capsicum for the red pepper in this recipe. A similar dish from southern India is mirchi bajji, also known as mirapakaya bajji or mirapakaya bhajji (where mirapakaya is a spice and bajji is a bhajiya). But the stuffing masala isn’t in this mirchi bhaji recipe. substitute finely chopped onions for the filled potatoes while making the garnish.
Besan and spices make a batter that is cooked with green chilies. If you are a gourmet, you should try both the North Indian and South Indian bada recipes. No one ever says no to deep-fried goodies. A teaspoon of coriander powder and fennel seeds, to taste, are optional additions.

Instructions

For filling:
● Toss the boiling potatoes with half a teaspoon each of turmeric, red chili, amchur, and salt, and mash to combine.
For the mirchi bada:
● After slicing them on one side, steam the jalapeno peppers for 5 to 10 minutes.
● Arrange the potato filling into the chili and set it aside.
● Combine all the chickpea flour with the salt, turmeric powder, and chili powder; set aside 1/4 cup.
● To make a thick batter, combine ¾ cup of chickpea flour, baking soda, and water.
● The mirchi bada should be rolled in the dry flour before being dipped into the batter.
● Cook in oil heated to medium heat.
● Top with tomato ketchup or green chutney and serve hot.
