Another solution to get rid of the gloomy rainy weather, to make it warmer after Samosas and Batata Vada is Chilli Fritters or what the Tamilian South Indians would refer to as "Molaga(chilli) Bhajji (fritters)". It is especially a sight to watch out for in Marina Beach. Aaah! The aroma thats wafts in the beach, women with big round bindi's sqatting near huge vessels with oil for frying out these hot delicacies, vendors running around calling out "Pattani Manga Sundal" - unforgettable moments these sure are!
The fritters are the best thing to have esp during rainy seasons. And if you cant bear too much heat - its fine, remove the seeds from the peppers and you are good to go.I keep varying the measurements for the batter which is needed for the fritters, but the basic ingredients are as below
Method
1. Add all the ingredients except the peppers in a bowl.
2.Add enough water to make a thick batter - thick enough to coat the peppers.
3.If you dont want it too hot, then slit the chilli in the middle and with the help of a spoon remove the seeds.Take care not to take the hands anywhere near the eyes.:)
4.Dip these chilli's in the batter, coat it well.
5.Then drop it in the hot oil for frying.
6.Turn and remove when its reddish yellow in color.
7.Serve it as it is or with any chutney of your choice.
