- Carefully stuff the green chilies with the prepared paneer mixture.
- Batter Preparation - Take a bowl. Add cocoa powder, bengal gram flour, baking soda, salt, red chilly powder, grated jaggery and tamarind puree. Prepare bhaji batter by adding little by little water to this mixture. No lumps should be formed.

Recipe Notes
Tamarind and Jaggery should be mixed in the batter to avoid the bitter tinge of cocoa powder.
