Milagai (Chilli) Bajji is a famous snack in road side shops in chennai. I always love to have milagai bajji when we have rainy weather. We can make bajji with many different vegetables like potato, raw banana and even with carrot. Capsicum is one of my favourite veggie especially in making bajji. Capsicum bajji are so yummy and crispy. The mild spice of the capsicum gives a very good taste to the dish.

Serve this yummy capsicum bajji with a cup of hot tea / coffee and enjoy the taste of hot and spice. Capsicum Bajji / Kuda Milagai Bajji is a wonderful tea time snack for a perfect evening!

Method with step by step pictures:

Wash the capsicum and de-seed and then slice it vertically. We can also chop it horizontally like a flower. Mostly vertical slices are easy to fry and turns out more crispier than the horizontal flowers and the horizontal pieces takes a bit time more than the vertical fingers. Its up to us to decide the shape of the bajji

Take the besan and rice flour in a mixing bowl. Add salt, hing and red chilli powder and mix well. Now add water little by little and make it like a batter. Make the batter like dosa batter. The batter should be neither thick nor too thin.

Heat oil in pan. When the oil is hot, dip each piece of the capsicum in the bajji batter and gently drop it in oil. Add 4-5 vertical slices or 2-3 horizontal slices in the oil in one batch. Fry the bajji in the oil till they turn golden brown colour and becomes crispy. Remove the fried bajji from oil and place it in a paper towel to drain excess oil.
