Today I will share a snack recipe, How To Make Mirchi Bada / Rajasthani Mirchi Bada. When I was posted in Jodhpur, we frequently used to visit Janta sweets or Pokor sweets in Nai Sadak to have the Mirchi bada as evening snacks. There, Mirchi bada used to serve with bread slices, people used to take them by putting the bada in between the two slices like sandwiches. They never used chutney.
To make Mirchi Bada you need to have bigger size chilies, which are not that much hot, and also have sufficient space for stuffing. Stuffing is made with mashed potato cooked with spices.
