Instructions

Step 1

1. Prepare the peppers: Using a small knife, make a lengthwise slit in each banana pepper, keeping the stem intact. Carefully remove the seeds and membranes inside. Stuff each pepper with a few cubes of processed cheese, pressing gently to seal the opening.

2. Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, asafoetida, ground red chili, turmeric, and salt. Gradually add water while whisking until you achieve a smooth, thick batter that coats the back of a spoon.

4. Heat the oil: Pour oil into a deep pan or kadai and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small amount of batter into the oil—it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

5. Coat the peppers: Dip each stuffed pepper into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Let excess drip off, then roll in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
