Chilli Pakora Recipe

-
 Chilli Pakora - Large green chillies stuffed with spicy potato mixture, dipped in gram flour batter and deep-fried.
Rajasthani cuisine is perhaps the most sensitive amongst the Indian cuisines. Rajasthan cooking in general has its own unique flavour where the simplest and the most basic of ingredients go into the preparation of delicious dishes.Food that could last for several days and could be eaten without heating was preferred, more out of necessity than choice. The sparse rainfall is not conducive to growing fresh green vegetables.
