Cheese Stuffed Chilli Bhajis

We,husband and two daughters,need something to bite along with a cup of tea.And it should be something hot and spicy. This recipe is one such. The best thing about this dish is,you can enjoy three layers in one chilli- outer layer of besan batter,crispy,then the hot chilli and soft cheesy stuffing inside. It can be served as such or with ketchup,tamarind dip. This recipe is basically a South Indian street food, but it is prepared with out the stuffing-just chillies dipped in batter and deep fried. I have added my touch with the stuffing.g
