 Mirchi pakora/green chilli pakora/mirchi bajji/homemade green chilli pakora

Mirchi Pakora also known as Mirchi Bhajji is a very easy snack recipe. It is prepared very quickly and is made from big green chillies. The green chillies are wrapped in a thick solution of besan and deep fried  Chilli pakoras are very good in winter or rainy season but you can make them anyway. I have removed the seeds of green chillies here but if you like more spicy, do not remove the seeds of chillies  You can serve green sauce with tomato sauce with evening tea.
