200 ml oil, can be reused

For batter

6 tbsp chickpea flour/besan

1 tsp red chili powder

½ tsp baking soda

Salt to taste

Hungarian bell pepper/yellow bell pepper

Directions:

Step 1: Slit bell peppers vertically but don’t separate let them stay intact with stem. Deseed and rub them with salt, keep aside.

Step 2: In a large bowl, add all ingredients to prepare batter, use water as required to prepare medium thick consistency batter. (It should be dripping but not too runny)

Step 3: Heat oil in a wok. Add pinch of salt to mashed potatoes, mix and stuff them in the slits of pepper. Once the oil is hot keep it in medium low heat and deep fry by turning them often until they are golden from all sides and remove. Drain out the excess oil in paper towel.

Note:  

As I always say spices can be adjusted based on your spice level.
