Rajasthani Mirchi Vada…Mirchi vada is a traditional Rajasthani snack in which a spicy and tangy potato filling is stuffed inside large green chilies and then the chilies are dipped in a chickpea flour batter and deep fried. The weather in Bangalore is a little gloomy from past few days and to make it a little fun, these vada’s were perfect. Here is the recipe to make Rajasthani Mirchi Vada.
