MIRCH MASALA / STUFFED FRYING PEPPER FRITTERS

There is a petty Snack shop near our home in Bangalore, where me and my DH used to hangout in the evening to eat spicy stuffed capsicum fritters. That shop used to be so much crowded, we had to wait in queue for more than an hour to eat. My DH was asking me to make those fritters from long time. So, yesterday I made the fritters using cuban frying peppers instead of Capsicum and one more thing is that shop lady used to sprinkle some sort of powder and she used to apply some sort of chutney which would make the fritters more tasty and spicy. Here I have used only coriander chutney, even then they were tasty. It was a big hit!!!
