Ingredients for stuffing:
1/2 cup gram flour (besan)
2 tbsp cumin+coriander powder
1\2 tbsp turmeric powder

Salt to taste


Method:
Step 1: Mix all ingredients for stuffing.

Step 2: Make a slit in each chilli and remove the seeds.

Step 3: Stuff the gram flour material into the chillies tightly.

Step 4: Heat the oil in a pan and gently place all the chillies in the pan one by one.
