Delicious Fries made with banana peppers dipped in wheat flour |
When I visited the groceries last time, these bright yellow chilies (Banana Peppers) caught my attention. Just picked those and brought home (of course I paid for those!). At first I thought of making chutney with these, but ended up with making these delicious fries. (I stored some chilies in the freezer for chutney of course!)
Let's see the recipe:
Ingredients:
- Banana Peppers – 3
- Wheat Flour – 1 cup
- A pinch of Soda
- Baking Powder – ½ tsp
- Salt as required
- Oil to deep fry
Method:
- Remove stalk and deseed the yellow chilies and cut into long thin strips like in the picture. Keep aside.
- Meanwhile,
prepare the batter by adding required water along with the baking
powder + Soda + Salt to the wheat flour.
- The batter shouldn’t be too
thick or too thin. It should be thick enough to dip the chilies so that
the chilies are coated well with the batter.
- Heat
the oil in a deep-bottomed pan. Dip each chili strip in the wheat flour
batter and drop carefully in the hot oil.
- Deep-fry till the chili fries turn
golden brown and remove from the oil. Repeat the same process with remaining batter.
- Spread these fries on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Enjoy the chili fries with your favorite dip.
- Yummy!!

ReplyDeleteI made these just now using red, yellow and green pepper strips Uma and they tasted very good. Nice idea of using whole wheat flour instead of chickpea flour. I also added some rice flour, so it was very crispy. Thanks for the recipe.
