Put a medium size pan on stovetop under medium flame. Add the Peanuts / Palleelu, Sesame Seeds/ Nuvvulu and Whole Cumin / Jeera to the pan. Dry roast until you get a pleasant aroma. Switch the flame off and let them cool completely. Now, take the roasted items into a spice blender /  mixer and make into fine powder. Transfer this into a separate bowl, along with the salt, besan / chickpea flour and half of chopped coriander leaves. Add enough water and make it into a thick paste.

Prepare the Stuffing:

Take the Banana Peppers / Mirchi, wash under running water, dry them with a kitchen towel.  Slit each length wise and make an opening to insert the stuffing. Using a tiny spoon fill all the peppers / mirchi with this spice powder mix.

Filling the Stuffing:

Put a large frying pan on stove top under medium flame. Pour the oil, gently place the stuffed peppers. Sprinkle little water (3 tablespoons) and close the pan with lid.

After 5-7 mins, open the lid and turn each pepper to the other side. Close the pan with lid, and let it cook this side for more 5 mins.

Now, open the lid and check if they are properly cooked and then switch the flame off.

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve. Done!!
