Fusion mirchi pakodas

Ingredients:

12-15 green chillies ( the thick ones that can be stuffed)

15 green olives finely chopped

1/2 cup crumbled paneer

1/4 cup grated cheese

A handful of mint finely chopped

6-8 tablespoons gram flour (besan)

A pinch of cooking soda

Salt to taste

Black pepper powder to taste

Oil for frying

Slit the green chillies and scoop out the seeds. Soak in hot water for 3-5 minutes.

Ensure the chillies don't become too soft. The need to be slightly crunchy.

In a bowl mix paneer, cheese, olives, mint, salt and pepper. Stuff this mixture into the chillies. Don't overstuff or the filling will come out while frying.

In another bowl mix the gram flour, soda and some salt and make a thin paste using water.

Dip the stuffed chillies and deep fry on medium high heat.

Serve hot.

You can use capsicum instead of chillies, but will have to cut the capsicum pakora into slices before serving.
