Stuffed Hari Mirch (Stuffed Serrano Peppers)

"Giving Modern Twists To Old Favorites"-

A topic, to which I shall return to later my friends :D!!

Menus all over the world are most likely guided by the seasons and traditions! Preparing top-quality food with a blend of ingredients and perfect simplicity is a valued attribute for any Cook, professional or domestic. Spiced street food and snacks, vada pavs and kanda bhaji's, bhel-puri or chaat, have been an integral part of my life- sometimes eaten outdoors on the go or as a part of a meal at home! Luxury hotels serve refined international cuisine for the wealthy and tourists, but it is the everyday food from hundreds of stalls and dhabbas on street corners that has often managed to capture my attention!

Clear, clean flavors from besan, coconut, sesame seeds, cumin, and amchur powder, and blasts of heat from one of the hottest chillies sums up the essence of this 'Tantalizing Stuffed Mirchi!'  This recipe does not involve complex preparations and yet the end result is satisfying! 

I love this Teekhi Mirchi and I would request you all to embrace the hot ingredients and flavors with equal enthusiasm as the warm sun rays or the soft rains pet your window panes!
