    What is Mirchi Bada?

    Mirchi Bada or Mirchi Vada is very popular street food from the city Jaipur and across the Rajasthan. They are long chilli peppers stuffed with a spiced potato filling, coated with a gram flour batter and deep fried in hot oil.  These Mirchi Vadas are typically served as an evening snack or breakfast along with tea. Jodhpuri Mirchi Bada is very similar to Hyderabadi Mirchi Bajji where we stuff the chillies with a different filling.

    What goes well with these Mirchi Vadas?

    This Rajasthani Mirchi Bada doesn’t need any chutney or dip as it is stuffed with a flavorful and spicy filling, but they taste equally delicious with green chutney, tamarind chutney or tomato ketchup.

    Can the Mirch Bada be made in advance?

    Yes, you can easily stuff the chillies with the prepared potato filling and refrigerate for about 6-7 hours.  Make the batter and dip the stuffed chillies before frying,

    Are these Mirchi Pakoras are Vegetarian or Vegan?

    Yes, these are naturally vegetarian and vegan.

    Which Chilli can be used to make Mirchi Bada?

    Any large chilli peppers can be used, but they should be mildly spiced. To reduce the spice levels od the chillies, discard the seeds before your stuff them.
