Stuffed jalapenos with besan | Bharwan Mirch Recipe | Stuffed Chili

My son is having holidays at school which means more cooking to me! Few days back, he demanded a khichdi/pongal & I made these stuffed jalapenos to go with it. It tasted heaven! It does not take much effort & your taste buds will jump with joy.

PS: I made only 3 stuffed jalapenos for myself & hence using the measurements given below. If you want to make it for 3-4 people, use the measurements given here.

Ingredients:
Jalapenos: 3 nos
Chickpea flour/besan: 2.5 tbsp

Asafoetida: a small pinch

Method:

• Wash & pat dry the jalapenos. Slit & de-seed.
