Habanero Stuffed Jalapenos w/cayenne
Ingredients
6-10 large jalapenos
1-2 large habanero
1/2-2/3 cup cream cheese
cayenne pepper
Panko or Pakora Batter
Directions:
Finely chop the habanero including seeds
mix habbies into the cream cheese and add cayenne to taste
Slit open jalapenos and insert giant gobs of the creamy, habbie goo.
Mix up veggie batter and add cayenne for Panko or Kashmiri Mirch for Pakora
batter. Dredge jalapenos in batter, cover with flour, dredge in more batter.
Deep fry these puppies until deep, golden brown. These things KICK!
Panko Batter:
dip in beaten eggs, then flour, then egg and then into Panko (Japanese Bread
crumbs)
OR
Pakora Batter:
12 tablespoons gram flour
t tsp. salt
2 tsp. Chile powder (Kashmiri mirch is my favorite) not this is not chili
powder
2 tsp. baking powder
3 tsp. white cumin seeds
2 tsp. pomegranate seeds
1 pint water
fresh coriander finely chopped
oil for deep frying
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add all the spices, baking powder, cumin,
and pomegranate seeds and blend together
Add coriander
Set aside
Dip the stuffed peppers thoroughly covering them with the batter, drop into
hot oil and fry. Turning to make sure all side are browned. Take out and
drain on paper toweling. Repeat the process until batter is finished.
A dip of Raita is a nice accompaniment.
This batter is quite nice with onion slices, cauliflower florets, broccoli,
spinach leaves, okra, aubergines, sliced potatoes sweet or white.
Raita:
Mix good thick natural yoghourt either from an Indian Market or a Middle
Eastern Market with grated cucumber, diced onion, diced tomato, and slivered
fresh mint.
Enjoy!
