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 :))

Do try these chili pickles-
