The fabulous stuffing gives a unique texture and memorable flavour to the chillies. For complete success, ensure that the cooked moong dal is separate, and not overcooked and mushy, because this will ruin the texture as well as the flavour of this exotic dish.
Delectable Stuffed Bhavnagri Chillies can double up as elegant starters and also make a great side vegetable when served with dal and Rice .
