Mirchi bajji is a popular South Indian treat that is prepared during festivals and is included as a part of the upwas meals. Here is a detailed preparation method with images and a video.
Mirchi bajji is a popular South Indian snack that is prepared in the evenings as an accompaniment to tea. Also known as menasinakai bajji in Karnataka, this bajji is stuffed with onion, carrot and coriander. With the spice of the mirchi along with the cooling effect of the carrot and a tinge of tanginess from the lemon squeezed on top, this bajji is a true delicacy and leaves everyone wanting for more.
