Besan Mirch is a Rajasthani speciality made by sautéing green chilies in a spiced besan (Gram Flour) mixture. When cooked in this way, the green chilies loose some of their bite and get imbibed with other tangy and spicy flavors.
Besan Ki Mirchi is mouthwateringly appetizing and greatly enhances the flavor of food. Roasted besan along with spices give this dish a very unique texture & flavor.
Besan Mirchi is really easy to make and it does not take more than 15 minutes to prepare. It stores well in the refrigerator, so you can make it once and enjoy it for 5-6 days.
Some people also like to make this dish in bharwan style, by stuffing the green chillies with the besan & spice mixture & then cooking them. This method though more time consuming, also gives great results.
Besan Ki Mirchi can be used as an accompaniment or as a pickle with any main dish combination like roti-sabzi or dal-chawal.
