It’s a quick, simple and easy pakoda recipe and you can get them in most of the Indian sweet shops. If you will purchase mix pakoras, you will also get mirch pakoras in it. I have made plain Mirch Pakoda, But if you want, you can stuff the green chillies with stuffing of your choice, such as potatoes or paneer.

In Maharashtra and Goa, pakoras are known as bhajiyas/bhajji/bajji. Green chillies which are used for making this pakoda are bigger in size, and they are not spicy as their smaller counterparts. One can use small green chillies also, but they would turn out to be too hot and spicy. These green chillies have a light green color and are known as bhaji/bhajji/bhajiya chillies. You can easily get these chillies in Vegetable selling vendors.

My Mother-In-Law really loves this pakode and she has her own style of making it. So one day, I just followed her style and impressed here by presenting the same style Mirch Pakoda. She was surprised and enjoyed my pakode a lot. I must say that I have learned making perfect mirch pakora from her only. Thanks Mom.
