Stuffed Jalapenos

Here is a great side dish which I do when every I make Daal/Pappu. It goes great with it.

Ingredients:

Jalapenos-10

Besan-5 Tspn

Garlic flakes-6

Oil-6Tspn

Salt-as needed

Red Mirchi Powder-as needed

Method:

1. In a vessel, add besan, salt, red mirchi powder, crushed garlic, 4 Tspns of oil and mix well. You can taste the powder and add more salt or mirchi powder according to your taste.

2. Wash the Jalapenos, slit them in the middle and remove the seeds of it if you are not used to a SPICY dish.

3. Stuff the besan powder in all the Jalapenos.

4. Take a wide bottom pan and heat it. Add 2 Tspn of oil in it and put all these Jalapenos in it and close the pan with a lid. There is no need of adding water to it, it will be cooked by the moisture present in the Jalapenos.

5. Keep the flame on LOW and heat it up for around 30 mins. Check the pan inbetween, you might need to turn the Jalapenos to the other side.

6. You will know when the Jalapenos are done by inserting a fork or a tooth pick into it.

7. Garnish with Cashews and Corriander leaves and serve along with rice or eat as a side dish along with any pappu/daal.
