For a vegetarian alternative, replace the mutton keema with a filling of spiced mashed potatoes, crumbled paneer, or a mixture of cooked lentils.
To reduce oil, stuff the chilies, lightly brush them with oil, and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until the coating is golden and crisp. You can also use an air fryer.
If Bhavnagri chilies are unavailable, you can use other large, moderately spicy peppers like Anaheim or Poblano.
Mutton is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, muscle development, and overall body function.
Green chilies are packed with Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that boosts the immune system, and Vitamin A, which is important for vision and skin health.
Mutton provides key minerals like iron, which is vital for forming red blood cells and preventing anemia, and zinc, which supports immune function and wound healing.
The combination of protein from mutton and carbohydrates from the chickpea flour batter provides a substantial energy boost, making it a very filling and satisfying snack.
A serving of two Mutton Keema Stuffed Mirchi Vadas contains approximately 550-650 calories. This is an estimate and can vary based on the amount of oil absorbed during frying and the fat content of the mutton.
As a deep-fried snack, it is high in calories and fat and should be enjoyed in moderation. However, it does offer nutritional benefits, such as high-quality protein from mutton and vitamins from the green chilies.
To reduce the spiciness, choose large, light green Bhavnagri chilies which are naturally mild. Ensure you thoroughly remove all seeds and white membranes. You can also blanch the chilies in hot water for one minute before stuffing to further mellow their heat.
These vadas are best served fresh and hot for maximum crispiness. You can, however, prepare the keema filling up to a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Stuff and fry just before you plan to serve them.
Store any leftover vadas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in an air fryer or a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes. This will help them regain some of their original crispiness. Avoid using a microwave, as it will make them soggy.
