To make besan ki hari mirch Slit hari mirch from the middle (a little slit), such that the chilli doesn't become two pieces and is still attached, de-seed it nicely (or else it will become too hot - so, if you would like it slightly hot, feel free to leave few seeds in. Apply little salt on the inner side of the green chilli (very little).Now, stuff the chillies with the besan mixture made above. (If you slit the chillies too much and the stuffing is coming out, feel free to tie the chillies with a thread to keep the stuffing in)Take a shallow and wide pan (non-stick is your best bet).Add 2 tbsp oil in the pan and once it is hot, slowly add stuffed chillies in it one by one. Keep them covered for 3-4 minutes and them remove cover and shallow fry them till they are all done. . Serving; Serve them with roti/paratha while they are warm.
