This Stuffed Bhavnagari Mirchi recipe is quite unique, compared to the usual way of preparing these chillies stuffed with or marinated in spices. On the other hand, Bharela Moong Dal Marcha features Bhavnagari chillies stuffed with a succulent and peppy mixture of moong dal and onions tempered traditionally and sautéed with spices and pastes.

The fabulous stuffing gives a unique texture and memorable flavour to the chillies. For complete success, ensure that the cooked moong dal is separate, and not overcooked and mushy, because this will ruin the texture as well as the flavour of this exotic dish.

Delectable Stuffed Bhavnagri Chillies can double up as elegant starters and also make a great side vegetable when served with dal and Rice .
