Stuffed Jalapeños with Besan (Chickpea Flour)
October 3, 2011 | Comments Off
… with Pongal (Savoury Rice and Lentil Pudding) and a Peach.
These are based on a traditional Maharashtrian recipe for Stuffed Chillies (Bharleli Mirchi) from A Mad Tea Party. Peppers are stuffed with a spiced chickpea flour (besan) mixture and cooked to spicy, tender perfection.
I made this recipe thrice recently ‘cos it’s quick and easy, especially when you’re dealing with big batches of peppers. The fact that it’s incredibly tasty is a bonus. It’s true, I no longer can look at a plate of food without delving into its biochemistry and being a persnitecky pain in the ass, but then I’ve become largely impervious to how food tastes. I’m more concerned about how I feel once I ingest it.

That book in the picture (missing its dust jacket) is an old edition of Paul Shepard’s The Tender Carnivore and the Sacred Game – an anthropological and physiological exploration of human history and modern individualism. I’m revisiting it for the third time.
I endured a particularly merciless strength training session this morning (last morning, actually, since it’s just past midnight).
