Yes I will call this "bandaged " chillies. Well if u look at them that is what they look like :)
I was watching Master Chef India last year when I saw one of the contestants making this in one of their challenges when cooking for one of the Royal Kings of Rajasthan (Jodhpur was it??) She had made a non veg version of this and it had won as the best recipe. Appologies as I don't remember the name of the contestant neither the name of what she had made. Was planning to make it for quiet sometime now but it saw day light in my kitchen only few days back. I don't even remember how she had made. I just remember the concept and I tried it out.
So here it is :
6 big green chillies ( use the variety with less heat)
oil for frying
for the filling :
half cup crumbled paneer
for the filling :
half cup crumbled paneer
1 onion chopped fine
salt to taste
tspn of mustard
corrainder leaves finely chopped.
for the bandage : :)
half cup maida
1 tbspn of fine sooji
a pinch of salt
apinch of cooking soda
water to knead the dough
Knead the dough for the bandage and keep aside.
In a pan add 2 tbspn of oil and when hot add mustard and let crackle. Add chopped onion and fry till done. Add salt followed by paneer and fry well. Mix in chopped corriander. Set aside.
NOTE : am not adding chilli to the paneer as as the outer chilly will do the job.
Slit the green chilies n de-seed them. In a flat pan put in 2 spoons of oil and roast the chilles till they have a crunchy look. Once cooled, stuff the chillies with the filling.
Next roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut into long stripes. Now bandage the stuffed chillies and seal it.
Deep fry in hot oil over medium heat till its golden brown. Serve hot with sauce.
I had made the filling with paneer, you could make your own filling as per ur wish.
