Mirchi Bhajii is a popular snack from Andhra Pradesh. It’s made with green chillies stuffed with tangy tamarind paste, coated in a crispy chickpea flour batter, and fried until golden. This air fryer version gives you the same crunchy and spicy taste as the traditional deep-fried ones, but uses much less oil.
