The consistency should be that of very thick yogurt. it should not be of dripping consistency! this is the stuffing.
Make a slit, lengthwise, along three fourth of the chili''''s length.
Remove any seeds and then stuff the stuffing in the chili.
Repeat this for the remaining chilies.
Mix well the flour from set 1, baking soda, salt, yogurt and a little water.
The consistency is that of thick, beaten yogurt. this is the batter.
Heat oil in a skillet, dip the chilies in the batter and drop gently in the oil.
Deep fry the chilies, occasionally turning, until they are golden yellow in color. repeat for all the chilies. serve warm.
