Mirchi Bhajji Stuffed with Chicken & Mushroom filling

Mirchi bhajji is a great evening snack especially during the cool monsoons or winters. It’s a crowd favourite in Andhra Pradesh and other southern states. Is it possible to make it better? Yes, infact hell yaaa. In this upgraded version of Mirchi bhajji we stuffed the bhajjis with a minced mushroom filling and minced chicken filling and the results surprised us for the good. Combination of crunchy-spiced onions with the crispiness of the fried chilli bhajji is tongue tickling and yum. This is a winner any day, any time.
