A famous Maharashtrian dish made of stuffed green Bhavnagri chillies.
Stuffed green chili is a tasty recipe which is made in variety of ways in different parts of india. in hindi this stuffed chili recipe is called as bharwa mirch , in Marathi it is called as bharli marchi or bhareleli mirchi & in gujarati it is called as bharela marcha. This recipe varies as you travel in different parts of india .
In Maharashtra and Gujarat bhavnagri mirch (chili) is used to make this stuffed chili recipe . Generally grated coconut , and crushed peanut is mixed with different spices and tang of lemon juice , amchur or imli is added to it .This stuffed pepper is a tasty veg recipe . The sourness of lemon, imli (tamarind) or amchur (dry mango powder) reduce the bitterness of chili and makes it more tasty.
I love this particular stuffed chili recipe . this stuffed mirch recipe is nice treat for your taste buds, you can eat it with plain dal chawal (waran- bhat /daal bhaat ) or kadhi chawal or kadhi khichadi or as a side dish with dal chawal sabj roti meal .
