Bharela Marcha (stuffed chillies)

This is what I had for lunch yesterday.

Ingredients
6 large green chillies
1 cup gram (chickpea) flour
1 small onion; choped fine
1 large tomato; blanched, peeled and mashed
2 cloves garlic; minced
1/2 tspn salt
1/2 tspn tumeric powder
1 teaspn cumin/coriander powder
1 tspn mustard seeds
1 tspn cumin seeds

1. Add onions, garlic, tumeric and cumin/coriander powders to the gram flour, mix and then add the tomatoes and enough water to make a fairly thick batter.
2. Make a slit in each chilli, you can remove the seeds, but I left them in for flavour, and stuff with the batter.

3. Heat some oil in a large frying pan, add the mustard and cumin seeds, after they have popped, gently place all the chillies in the pan and cover. (reduce the heat)
4. After about 5 minutes, turn them over, and cover the pan again. Cook for about 20 minutes altogether. This is normally served as a side dish.
