Andhra Style Stuffed Mirch | Stuffed Chilli

Andhra Style Stuffed Mirch – Spicy side dish with baji chilli and ground peanut stuffing. This is an Andhra style side dish. We used to prepare only Bajji with this Chilli. I got this recipe from my Andhra friend and I used to experiment her dishes at home. Compared to Kerala cuisine Andhra dishes are more spicy. This stuffed chilli is very easy to prepare and goes well with chapati, rice etc… I have used ground peanut for stuffing, you can use any stuffing like ground roasted gram or potatoes. Hope you all will try out this spicy stuffed mirch.
