About Milagai bajji

Milagai Bajji is a popular South Indian snack made by deep-frying large green chili peppers coated in a seasoned chickpea flour batter. Originating from Tamil Nadu, this street food favorite is known for its crispy exterior and mildly spicy flavor. The main ingredients include green chilies, chickpea flour, rice flour, spices like turmeric and chili powder, and a touch of salt. While indulgent, Milagai Bajji offers some nutritional benefits, such as protein from chickpea flour and antioxidants from the chilies. However, due to the deep-frying process, it is high in calories and fats, making it best enjoyed in moderation. When paired with fresh coconut chutney or tangy tamarind sauce, it becomes even more delightful, showcasing the bold and vibrant flavors of South Indian cuisine.
