STUFFED BAJJI MIRCHI GRAVY / MIRCHI SALAN



Hi All,
STUFFED MIRCHI SALAN!! We always prepare only bajji with this mirchi but last week I brought some bajji mirchis and there was too many to prepare only bajji ! So I thought of making something different and searched in net to find this gravy recipe.
But actual recipe goes well with fried rice and briyani and also they make this gravy with real long mirchi (not with bajji mirchi L) but I want it to go with Chapthi and Dosa so I altered the recipe as per my requirement and tired it.It came out to be well and worth a try.


The ingredients looks like a big list but recipe is so simple.
The recipe is as below,
INGREDIENTS :
Bajji Mirchi – 3 nos.
Onion – 1 nos (big).
Tomato – 1 no(big)
Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
Coriander powder – ½ tsp.
Curry leaves – a sprig.
Oil – 1 tsp
Oil – for deep frying chillies.
SAUTE AND GRIND TO PASTE :
Onion – 1 no(big)
Ginger 1 ½” piece – 1
Garlic – 5 pods
Dry red chilli – 3
Sesame seeds – ½ tsp
Groundnut – ½ tsp
Cinnamon / pattai  1” piece – 1 no
Cloves / Krambu – 2 nos
Fennel seeds / Sombu – ½ tsp
Cumin / Zeera – ½ tsp
Khus khus / Poppy seeds – ¼ tsp
Coconut  - 6 tsp.
Oil – 2 tsp.
FOR BATTER : (OPTIONAL ,YOU CAN EVEN SKIP THIS STEP)
All purpose flour – 1 ½ cup
Chilli powder – 1 tsp
Chilli chicken powder – 1 tsp
Cornflour mix – 3 tsp
Salt – as required.
FOR STUFFING :
Potato – 2 nos
Chilli powder – 1 tsp
Onion – 5 tsp
Garammasala – ½ tsp
Cumin powder – ½ tsp
Salt – ½ tsp.

PREPARATION :
1) Saute the grinding ingredients after frying in a tsp of oil and grind to fine paste.
2) Clean and slit open the mirchi chillies and remove the seeds.
3) Boil and mash the potatoes , then mix the potato with our stuffing ingredients ( chillipowder , chopped onions , garam masala , cumin powder and salt).
4) Now stuff the slitted chill with the mixed potato and close the chillies (as in picture).
5) In a bowl mix all purpose flour , chilli powder , chillichicken powder , cornflour mix and salt and add ¼ cup water and mix to form idli batter consistency ( you can even skip this step , we like the chewy texture in chillies so I did it ..if you don’t want you can skip this and fry the chillies directly in oil too).
6) Dip each of the stuffed chilli in above batter and deep fry in oil till golden brown , drain the oil and keep aside.
7) In a pan add 1 tsp of oil followed by onions , curry leaves and fry till translucent.
8) When onions are done add tomatoes and fry till mushy , followed by turmeric powder , coriander powder and sauté once.
9) Now add the ground masala and boil for 5 mins till the gravy reaches required consistency.
10)           When your gravy is ready finally add the fried chillies and garnish with coriander leaves and give a quick mix and serve.
11)       The gravy goes best with dosa and chapathis too.
NOTES :
1) After adding chillies to gravy don’t boil the gravy .as already everything is boiled and fried just add the chillies and serve.
2) As my Chillies are very long I cutted them into pieces and added to gravy , you can add as it is.
3) If you want the gravy to be very simple , you can just fry the chillies in oil without even stuffing and add to gravy.
HAPPY COOKING!!

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton. The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible. Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
