Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Coated Stuffed Banana Peppers
  1. Prepare the Peppers: Wash and dry the banana peppers. Slit each pepper vertically and remove the seeds.

  3. Make Breadcrumbs: Grind fresh bread in a food processor or use store-bought breadcrumbs.
  4. Prepare the Batter: Combine gram flour, rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, asafoetida, and salt. Gradually add water to achieve a smooth batter.
  5. Heat the Oil: Warm vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  6. Coat the Peppers: Dip stuffed peppers in the batter, then roll in breadcrumbs. Repeat for double coating.

  8. Drain and Serve: Remove fried peppers and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
