Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
-
Fresh Green Chilies: Choose medium-sized green chilies for balanced heat and flavor; they should be firm and vibrant.
-
Besan (Gram Flour): This adds the perfect crunch; opt for fine quality for better texture.
-
Turmeric Powder: A pinch adds color and subtle earthiness; go easy on it as it can overpower.
-
Red Chili Powder: Adjust according to your spice tolerance; this brings in extra heat and color.
-
Salt: Essential for enhancing flavors; use according to your taste preference.
-
Water: Used for making the batter; ensure it’s at room temperature for better consistency.
-
Oil for Frying: Use vegetable oil or ghee for frying; both give rich flavor and crispiness.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Chilies: Start by washing the green chilies thoroughly. Pat them dry with a towel—no one likes soggy chilies!
Create the Batter: In a bowl, mix besan, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Gradually add water until you achieve a smooth batter that coats the back of a spoon.
Dip the Chilies: Take each dried green chili and dip it into the batter until fully coated. Make sure they are well covered; this is where the magic happens!
Heat the Oil: In a deep pan, heat oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Test by dropping a small amount of batter—if it sizzles immediately, you’re ready to fry.
Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully place each battered chili into the hot oil one by one. Fry until they’re golden brown and crispy—about 5-7 minutes should do it! Keep turning them occasionally so they cook evenly.
Drain Excess Oil: Once done, remove the chilies from oil using tongs and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or yogurt dip!
Now that you’re equipped with all these instructions, enjoy crafting your own batch of Rajasthani Hari Mirchi ke Tipore! Happy cooking!
