Stuffed Green Chili?
There are many reasons why this recipe is so popular:
It is crispy from the outside and soft from the inside.
It has a balanced spicy and tangy flavor.
It is budget-friendly and easy to make.
It uses simple ingredients available in every kitchen.
It can be served as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
Even people who are not big fans of green chilies often
enjoy this recipe because the potato filling reduces the
sharp heat of the chili and adds delicious flavor.
Taste and Texture
The taste of potato stuffed green chili is a perfect
combination of spicy, savory, and slightly tangy flavors.
The green chilies give a mild heat, while the mashed
potato filling adds comfort and richness. Spices like
red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin, and chaat
masala enhance the flavor.
The outer gram flour (besan) coating becomes crispy
after frying, giving a crunchy bite. Inside, the potatoes
stay soft and flavorful. When served with mint chutney
or tamarind sauce, the taste becomes even more exciting.
Health Benefits of Green Chilies
and Potatoes
Although this is a fried snack, it still has some
nutritional benefits when eaten in moderation.
1. Rich in Vitamin C
Green chilies are rich in Vitamin C, which helps
boost immunity and support skin health.
2. Good Source of Energy
Potatoes are full of carbohydrates that provide quick
energy. They also contain potassium, which supports
heart health.
3. Contains Fiber
Both potatoes and gram flour contain fiber, which
helps improve digestion.
If you want a healthier version, you can air fry or
shallow fry the stuffed chilies instead of deep frying.

Method!!!!
Step 1: Prepare the Green Chilies
Wash the green chilies and pat them dry.
Make a slit in the center lengthwise and remove
the seeds carefully. This helps reduce extra
spiciness.

In a bowl, add mashed potatoes, chopped onion,
green chilies, spices, salt, coriander leaves, and
lemon juice.
Mix everything well until combined.
Step 3: Stuff the Chilies
Fill each green chili with the prepared potato mixture.

Step 4: Prepare the Batter
In another bowl, mix gram flour, turmeric powder,
red chili powder, and salt. Add water slowly and
make a smooth, thick batter without lumps.
Step 5: Fry the Stuffed Chilies
Heat oil in a deep pan on medium heat.
Dip each stuffed chili into the batter, coat it well,
and carefully place it in hot oil. Fry until golden
brown and crispy.
Remove and place on kitchen paper to absorb
excess oil.

Potato Stuffed Green Chili
Use large and thick green chilies for best results.

Fry on medium heat to ensure even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the pan while frying.
