Ingredients:

1) 5 Bajji Chilies (Banana Peppers) – 130g
2) 70g gram flour
3) Tamarind – small lemon size
4) 1 onion finely chopped
5) 1 tablespoon coriander leaves, chopped
6) 1/4 teaspoon ajwain
7) 1/4 teaspoon red chilli powder for bajji batter
8) Water for batter preparation
9) Extra red chilli powder for seasoning
10) Chat masala for seasoning
11) 1/2 lemon
12) Salt to taste
13) Cooking oil for deep frying

Directions:
1) Soak the tamarind in lukewarm water for 15 minutes, then squeeze it to make a fine paste.
2) In a mixing bowl, combine chopped onions, coriander leaves, and salt, and mix well.
3) In a separate bowl, mix gram flour, ajwain, red chili powder, and salt. Gradually add water to make a smooth, semi-thick batter.
4) Cut open the banana chilies vertically, remove the seeds, and apply the tamarind paste evenly inside.
5) Heat oil in a pan or kadai over medium heat. Check the oil temperature by dropping a small amount of batter. If it rises quickly, the oil is hot enough.
6) Coat the banana chilies with the mixed batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry them for 3 to 4 mins or until they turn light brown.
7) Avoid overcrowding the pan; fry in batches if needed.
8) Once fried, remove the bajjis and place them on a plate to allow excess oil to drain.
9) Slit open the bajjis in the same place where the chilies were cut before frying.
10) Stuff the onion-coriander leaves mixture inside the bajjis.
11) Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice on top.
12) Sprinkle a pinch of chat masala and a pinch of red chili powder on top.
13) Repeat the process for all the bajjis.
14) Serve the bajjis with the chutney of your choice along with the hot tea.
