To make a healthier version, spray the battered chilies with oil and cook in an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Use a store-bought bajji or pakora mix for the batter to save time on measuring individual flours and spices.
For a different flavor and more protein, use a stuffing made of crumbled paneer or tofu mixed with spices instead of the tamarind paste.
