Instructions
If you are sensitive to green chilies, wear gloves or rub a bit of oil on your hands before handling green chilies. Slit open the green chilies and de-seed them. Make sure you pick larger size green chilies as they will be easy to stuff plus they will be comparatively milder in taste. Set aside.
Heat oil. Add boneless chicken. Let it cook for about 30 seconds.
Add National Achaar masala along with ginger garlic paste. Saute for about 4-5 minutes till chicken is cooked. Take it off heat and let it cool.
Take a bowl and add the chicken. Cut or shred into small pieces if required. Add grated cheese. Mix it together well. Keep the filling in the fridge for about 5 minutes before filling
Fill the green chilies with the chicken and cheese filling. Keep in the freezer for about 5 - 10 minutes.
Place the flour in one bowl, the beaten egg in a second bowl, and the bread crumbs in the third bowl. Start coating the green chilies by tossing in flour, then egg, and then finally bread crumbs. For a crunchier topping, do a double coating of breadcrumbs.
Once all the green chilies are coated, keep them in the freezer for about 30 minutes to chill and set. Heat oil, and fry the green chilies till crisp and golden.
