You can remove the seeds if the chilies are spicy but removing seeds is totally optional.
These Chili Vada's are usually served as a evening snack or breakfast with hot tea.They are usually cut into pieces and served with ketchup, green chutney and tamarind chutney. But they are so delicious that can be served without any chutney or dip
The Stuffing-Potatoes are boiled and mashed first. Then a spicy flavourful spice mix is added in it . A mix of fennel seeds, coriander seeds and asafoetida gives a nice taste and aroma to the potato mixture along with the usual spices.
The potato mixture can be stuffed in the chilies and stored in the refrigerator for a day or 2 and when you want to serve then dip in the gram flour batter and deep fry .
