Bharwa mirch -Peppers stuffed with an assortment of Indian spices.
Masala bharwa mirch /Bharli mircha is a favourite accompaniment at my place. I usually stuff them with just dry powdered spices, but this time I tried to stuff it with some leftover bikaneri sev (which had become slightly stale due to the moisture :)), and it turned out to be very delicious, and every one at home liked it, especially my daughter, avoids eating hot food, loved it very much – so do try this easy and delicious bharli mircha.
For a more quick version – Just add some oil, salt and lemon juice in the ground bikaneri sev and fill in the chilies and stir fry (this tip is specially for my son :))

** Bikaneri Sev is a popular Indian savory fried snack made from gram flour. Its easily available in Indian grocery stores across the worldwide – just ask for “Bhujiya”. The most popular brands are Haldiram’s and Bikaji.
If you don’t have bikaneri sev then roast 2.5 tbsp of gram flour/besan in a tsp of oil till golden in colour and use instead .
