Bherwa Mirch Ka Pakora | Stuffed Green Chili Fritters | How To Make Bherva Mirch Ka Pakora

Bherwa Mirch ka pakora is stuffed green peppers with mashed potatoes filling with some aromatics spices, dipped in spicy besan (gram flour) batter and deep fried. While in the hostel we enjoyed these pakoras in Ganga dhaba. Later got to know that bherwa mirch pakora is a popular Rajasthani street food known as bherwa mirch vada too.

Bherwa mirch pakora means stuffed chilies fritters, we use green chilies also known as bhavnagri chilies which are larger in size but not too spicy. If you are serving to kids just deseed them before stuffing. These pakoras are also known as bhajji/bhajiya in Pune. These fritters can be served with green coriander chutney and tamarind chutney.

This snack is perfect for those who would like to indulge and love the hotness of chili. It is heavenly if teamed up with a hot cup of coffee/tea. I prepared Bherwa mirch ka pakoda or stuffed chili fritters first time at home, but the outcome was totally awesome. This we get even when going to Lonavala side especially in rainy season. This deep-fried bherwa mirch ka pakora is a great snack during a rainy day in monsoon.
